matty co. Delivers the Indie-Soul Anthem You Didn’t Know You Needed in ‘BACK2BASICS’

Every now and then, a song comes along that doesn’t just sound good—it feels good. That’s the sweet spot LA-based artist matty co. hits with his latest single, ‘BACK2BASICS.’ The track is a slow-burn groove wrapped in warmth, nostalgia, and a gentle reminder of what really matters in love: the little things.

Raised between Orange County and Hawaii, Matt Cohen has always lived in the in-between. As matty co., he channels those dualities—coastal calm and city rhythm, introspection and charisma—into music that feels both effortlessly cool and deeply personal. On ‘BACK2BASICS,’ that balance is front and center. It’s not just a love song; it’s a reconnection anthem. A moment of clarity in a world that moves too fast.

Built on a buttery bassline and produced by Adam Castilla and Brick Mansion Recordings, the track radiates the breezy charm of early evening drives and late-night conversations. matty’s smooth vocals carry a quiet confidence—think Djo’s cinematic layers meets Tom Misch’s easy groove, but entirely his own.

“BACK2BASICS is a comforting, nostalgic song that means a lot to me. It touches on some of my favourite memories with my now-fiancé—like holding her close, tracing her back, and just letting her know that everything’s going to be okay. It’s that feeling, wrapped up in a song.”

‘BACK2BASICS’ also marks the final track in his ALL IS GOOD HERE collection, and it feels like a natural closer: reflective, romantic, and rooted. It's the kind of song that makes you want to dance in your kitchen or call someone you love just to hear their voice.

While matty co.’s artistry shines in his solo work, his musical reach goes deeper. As a digital strategist, he’s helped shape campaigns for the likes of St. Vincent and Ghost. As a bassist, he brings serious chops to the rising LA rock band Holy Wars. But here, in this moment, it’s all matty co.—vulnerable, magnetic, and fully in his element.
