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…
Kohoutek
YoSoyMatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que nos mira al orbitar paciente
Por mil años ha alumbrado
La oscuridad del prado,
Con su brillo existencial
Desde mi ventana, veo
Al cometa Kohoutek saliendo,
Y nos lleva al infinito
El espacio sideral
Mi mamá lo vio de frente
Una curva que torció el presente
Su trayecto era morado
El nostálgico legado
Decorando el vacío universal
Cometa Kohoutek,
Decorando el vacío universal
These lyrics, from YoSoyMatt's song "Kohoutek," delve into the concept of the Kohoutek comet and its symbolic significance. The first paragraph sets the stage by introducing a looming rumor that is patiently observing us as it orbits. This rumor is represented by the Kohoutek comet, which has shone its existential brightness on the darkness of the prairie for a thousand years.
In the second paragraph, the singer describes seeing the Kohoutek comet from their window. It is portrayed as a vector that carries dreams and takes us to infinity, representing the vastness of outer space. This imagery highlights the transformative power of the comet and its ability to transport us to realms beyond our imagination.
The third paragraph introduces the personal experience of the singer's mother, who saw the Kohoutek comet up close. It describes the comet's trajectory as a curve that altered the present, suggesting that its presence had a profound impact on their lives. The mention of its purple hue adds a nostalgic element, emphasizing the comet's lasting legacy in decorating the universal void.
In the fourth and final paragraph, the refrain repeats the phrase "Cometa Kohoutek, decorando el vacío universal," reinforcing the comet's symbolic role in filling the empty spaces of the universe. This repetition further solidifies the idea that the comet is not just a physical object but also an emblem of cosmic beauty and meaning. Overall, the song explores themes of wonder, transformation, and the eternal search for purpose in the face of the vastness of the universe.
