As a strictly homemade project, his music relies 100% on digital sounds, emulating the organic and latin feeling of his albums Cosmos Tropicale (2018) and Atlas (2019). Following the massive success of La Niña del Volcán, alongside Polocorp — DJ from Polo & Pan — YoSoyMatt keeps tightening his style whilst exploring different genres and motifs, decorating the music with powerful characters living in sweet stories, turning back our attention into an exquisite audiobook.
As one of the leaders of the next generation artists (Warner Music Group), YoSoyMatt is pushing the boundaries of regional latin american sounds into the future of the electronic agenda and as a musical advocate of the sounds inspired by the ocean, Once upon the Sea (2021) came at the right time. Joining forces with Ian Urbina, this EP will surely reach the hearts of those who wish to take a deeper look into the water.
His latest release is a rework of Desta French’s “Ojos Negros”, where a clash of electronic beats, Hip-Hop jams and Latin Soul, collide. You will dance like nobody’s watching…

YoSoyMatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando fuimos a nadar
Espumosa su mirada me la trajo este mar
Ella me hizo compañía
Se mecía junto a la brisa
Se volvió una mariposa y se marchó
Ay ay ay
Tantas lunas de siempre nadar
Aletea sobre el mar
No es momento de una despedida
Ella es un poema de la vida
Cambio un par de aletas
Yo quiero alas pa′ volar
Cambio manta rayas
Por gaviotas sobre el mar
Entre lo salado del océano
Su dulzura se fue terminando
Lejos de olvidarme yo me puse a recordar
Su sabor de coco de palmera en carnaval
Linda mariposa,
No te olvides de tu amor
No te vayas para siempre,
Poliniza el corazón
Los meses se iban volando
El verano terminó
Yo me fui a vivir a playa
Ella nunca regresó
El invierno fue tan frío
No tenía a quién abrazar
Pero hoy por la mañana
Una botella me llegó desde altamar
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
"He llegado a tierra firma ya,
Hoy te espero junto al mar"
Hay que ser como las mariposas
Que conquista el cayo Boca Rosa,
Todavía ni llega está pensando en regresar
Saco mi maleta y me embarco hacia altamar
Vientos caribeños me acompañan
A la isla de mi reina madre
Bajo las mareas me comienzo a transformar
Brazos por antenas y los pies para aletear
Linda mariposa no te olvides de tu amor
No te vayas para siempre
Poliniza el corazón
The song "BocaRosa" by YoSoyMatt is a beautiful and poetic ode to a past love that was as fleeting as a butterfly. The first verse speaks of how wonderful it was to meet this person while swimming in the sea. In the second verse, the singer reminisces on how they would swim together for months, and how he felt when the girl he loved suddenly left. In the chorus, the singer urges the girl, who he compares to a butterfly, not to forget their love as she flits away.
The third verse speaks of how the singer longs for a change and to fly away like a bird, contrasting with the idea of swimming in the previous verses. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and show a sense of longing and nostalgia for the past love that left like a butterfly. The ending of the song speaks of transformation and the hope that the girl he loved may return to reignite their past love.
