There are first times you never forget. Hearing the captivating voice of Syd Matters for the first time is one of them.
From End & Start Again, his first single in 2003, the warm and deeply felt singing of Jonathan Morali and his singular melodies — as if from another era — announced an artist unlike any other. Four albums followed, along with their share of unforgettable songs: Black & White Eyes, Obstacles, To All Of You and I Might Float, which left their mark on an entire generation.
On stage, those who saw him remember intense concerts where the singer and his musicians delivered performances that were at once epic and intimate.
Then Jonathan Morali stepped back from the spotlight — though never from music — writing for theatre, video games and film, collaborating with Éric Rochant, Rémi Chayé and Thoms Litli, and contributing to the remarkable series Life Is Strange, a global phenomenon that introduced him to a whole new audience.
Gone too long, Syd Matters is back — with new songs, and others that we know by heart and have never forgotten.
