Mattiel, the Atlanta-based band of vocalist/songwriter Mattiel Brown and guitarist/producer Jonah Swilley, return today with two original tracks for Heavenly Recordings, the magnetic new single Those Words and its towering B-Side Freedom Feels.
Talking about the track, mixed by David Wrench, Mattiel said:
I think everyone can relate to a song like Those Words - it’s really just about choosing who to give your energy to. If someone isn’t treating you with respect or crosses your boundaries, you don’t owe them anything. It’s an especially good reminder if you’re a person who tends to try to please everyone. Needless to say, women are taught to do this from a very young age. It’s just not possible to make everyone happy, so you might as well sing and dance those cares away.
