Matt DeAngelis’s new track, ‘Rejection‘, is a progressive rock-soul anthem that’s left me in awe. At just 25, this Southern New Jersey native brings more than musical talent—he’s a songwriter with a purpose, blending his advocacy for climate change and mental health into his artistry.

This five-minute journey begins with melancholic piano chords, setting a reflective tone. Then, Matt’s voice steps in—full of intensity and emotion. I am mighty impressed by the vocal powers of Matt DeAngelis. His voice is like a vocal ninja, belting to falsetto, just brilliant!
As the song unfolds, Bill’s guitar solo instrumental section elevate the atmosphere. The guitar solo—it’s pure Gilmour magic, transporting you to another dimension. Then we have bassist Eric M Bishop who not only provides the rhythmic but also a dreamy harmonic foundation for the song.
The blend of soul with classic progressive rock gives off serious ‘Dark Side of the Moon’-era Pink Floyd vibes. Billy K. is the backbone of this song, handling guitar duties, but also production (with Tom Conran) and the introspective music video (with Ant), ensuring all these talents churn out the perfect song.
The lyrics are raw and introspective, tackling themes of resilience and self-discovery, and self-worth. Matt’s lyrical honesty combined with the intricate instrumentals makes ‘Rejection’ by Matt DeAngelis unforgettable. If you’re a fan of deep, soul-stirring rock with a message, this song is a must-listen.
