Multi-genre singer/songwriter, Maty Noyes has returned with her new single, “Lighter Thief“, taken from her upcoming project, Rainbow Syndrome. Known for her knack for stories, love of life, sharp tongue, and sultry voice, Maty is embracing her incomparable personality and voice on the new track, which is a moody, emotional, acoustic driven confessional. Listen to it now below.
Maty said about the song, “This song is about loving the anti-hero. He’s the bad boy in the movie that gives you just enough hope that he could turn good that you want him to win (over the classic good guy). It feels like home – sometimes you run away but you always come back to it. It’s that feeling when the future is so uncertain, and nothing is safe or guaranteed but you accept it because it makes you feel alive. You do what you can to bring light and happiness, but that’s not always the way love goes. It is about when you look back in shock that you were able to deal or put up with certain things from an ex or ever really date them at all. It’s not about missing this person, it’s about the opposite of missing them. Being so glad and celebrating them being out of your life now, and it’s a self-reflective moment of yourself to look back and see how you’ve grown with what you’re willing to put up with or what you deserve. It’s a hate song for the exes. It’s a song for the ones who got away and were so good with that.”
Of her upcoming project Maty says, “Every song is about a different stage of love. There’s every kind of emotion within love. And I felt them all when making the album. The collection spans multiple genres and is an embodiment of love, heartbreak, and everything in between.”
Maty’s music reaches a pure connection to the message of love and compassion, the through-line in all her music. “I, like a lot of people in our country right now, am feeling downtrodden and bossed around, told what to do,” she says. “I want to make songs that show love can triumph over hate.”
She’s working every day on new material, borrowing a bit from one genre and blending it with another, constantly looking for new ways to explore her art and her central theme. “I don’t believe in limits,” says the singer of her chameleonic sound. “Any day I go into the studio, I could come out with something disco or super poppy, or it could be a soul song. I am all about pushing boundaries, breaking through limitations and avoiding boxes. For me, I want contradictions to define me. Because contradictions challenge me to be undefinable, to be more tomorrow than I am today.”
