Exploring the Healing Energy of Matt B’s New “Amanzi” EP

Matt B (@mattbworld) is a GRAMMY-nominated, Los Angeles-based songsmith from Chicago. Not too long ago, he released a new EP, “Amanzi.” Translating to ‘water’ in the African language of Zulu, the 6-track project sees Matt surrendering to the restorative and healing energy of natural elements as he emphasizes the importance of self-improvement and making heart-centered decisions.

The project opens with the devotional track “My Light” which is doused in romance as Matt slows down the pace to describe his eternal devotion to his wife — who is also his manager, producer, and creative partner.

Matt B – “My Light” (Official Visualizer)

“I wanted the video to express a sense of longing. The water represents renewal and cleansing. The dancer’s elegant and almost ritualistic moves not only represent the light that I see and feel in my heart towards the person I love but also a renewed sense of personal being and awareness.

We all are in search of love or a relationship with deeper meaning. Throughout our journey of life, this is one of the most difficult things to find. When that perfect someone crosses paths with you, it’s like everything just clicks all at once. All of the other relationships prior to meeting this person mean nothing. All you want is for this person to be yours. This record represents that deep admiration and expressing the love that you feel for them.” – Matt B explained

“Loyal” (Official Visualizer)

“Loyal” offers a glimpse directly into Matt’s soul as he selflessly proclaims his adoration for his love while his GUANGZHOU single speaks on being spontaneous and acting on one’s inhibitions.

Elsewhere on the EP is the sensual “My Way,” an ode to body language that sonically personifies the ebb and flow of a river.

The lighthearted “Need Some Wine” serves as a reminder to let loose, sip back, and celebrate.

“Amanzi” shows a vulnerable side to Matt B as he navigates life through the lens of love, a theme that lingers throughout his recent releases, choosing to sing about it in hopes of inspiring others to offer more of it in the world. “I hope that listeners realize that life is too short and that it’s OK to let go and love,” Matt B stated. “Be more like water. Be comfortable with who you are but be willing to make changes for the better. Know yourself well enough that no matter what situation or vessel you’re in, you maintain your identity. Be strong enough to carve out rock, but refreshing enough to quench someone’s thirst and help them to thrive.”

“I truly believe that songs write themselves. They already exist in the ether, I’m just fortunate that I was chosen to be the vessel to tell the stories,” Matt B added. “My inspiration for this project came from several places. My wife is my muse, so I’m always inspired by her. I’m also inspired by what I see, whether it be when I’m walking through the airport or out for lunch, seeing the expression of love that people selflessly give to one another all helped to inspire what you hear in AMANZI.”
