Matt Deangelis is a chameleon in music genres. His approach is always surprising, bringing in some incredible essence in the melodic structure. Music has been a road to progress as much as it has been a cocoon of healing for this amazing songwriter. He’s someone who has truly obsessed over the craft and found his own sound. His latest single has all the vintage vignettes, while bringing his own style in Livin’ It.
Hailing from Southern NJ, USA, you can always depend on Matt for a dose of positivity and affirmation-even in the face of disparities. This is the kind of tonality you need, especially in an era where destruction and melancholy are the norm. The vibe of the song itself is warm and inviting, like listening to England Dan and John Ford Coley. Instrumentals have an easy breeze, just like Matt’s vocals. When the guitars come in, they have a highlight tonality wise, making it a highlight. Matt Deangelis makes sure his signature piano playing is always on point. In this particular tonal zone, he also sounds like Elton John in many aspects.
I love how the lyrics are able to cut through different visual directions, while having the instrumentals tie it all together. Even then, there is an unpredictable shift in rhythm elements when they slide in. I loved the saxophone and guitar tones especially-Matt’s vocals brilliantly complementing the stunning energy.

In the process, I’m sure he has helped countless others who suffer or look for hope through the journey that music gives. Although subjective in their approach, his music shows that adversity can be dealt with, if you have firm resolve. Listen to the song Livin’ It here:
