Toronto, ON-based singer-songwriter and producer Alanna Matty has unveiled her new pop-folk single, “End Up Alone” from her upcoming album, Thoughts//Feelings.
“I wrote this song in the middle of the night, listening to my partner breathing as he slept beside me and feeling entirely alone somehow.” Alanna Matty explains, “I caught myself thinking about our friends who had recently broken up out of the blue, and how it feels so strange to be together and then suddenly completely alone. The chorus came to me really quickly, but the verses took a while to come together to tell the full story.”
Following up the success of her 2019 EP This Past Year (which found success with music placement in CBC’s “How To Buy A Baby”, video game “Watch Dogs 2” and received over 100,000 Spotify streams), Matty began streaming her music on Twitch, growing her channel to over 11,000 followers.
With the encouragement of her Twitch community, she decided to re-imagine some of her previously recorded songs, including “End Up Alone”, self-producing and mixing the track over lockdown:
“The track is recorded in my home studio, and is much more experimental than the previous iteration. I think it adds more of the melancholy and frustrations at things changing in ways you didn’t expect, and realizing that you really can only rely on yourself at the end of the day.”
