Eric Matthys ’s “My Love Is Forever” is a song that at first sounds fairly familiar or classic in its Hip Hop presentation, but that quickly evolves to be quite unlike anything you’ll have heard in recent months.
In the beginning, this gentle soundscape appears, upon which Eric Matthys
’s leading voice soars with power and precision and absolute emotion. His performance can’t be questioned at any point, it feels very genuine, and heartfelt, and every note – whether subtle or high and passionate – is reached with notable ease. What really starts to stand out though as you progress through the verses is the lyrics. There’s something incredibly personal about these lyrics, almost as if they’re a private diary entry, displayed in a raw and vulnerable way – perhaps unedited to an extent. The meandering nature of the melody reinforces this in-the-moment realness.
“My Love Is Forever” has a really gentle set-up, musically speaking. This subtle, retro soundscape emerges, upon which Eric Matthys ’s vocals float with a fitting smoothness. You get an added sense of connection to the song, and an added level of apparent passion, when you listen to this awesome track, you all will love the vibe, flow, and vocals as well.
From a songwriting perspective, this release paves the way towards its hook with space and light rhythm, making that chorus section shine as the instrumentation multiplies and the quickly familiar leading line starts to weave its way into your mind. The latter moments also add a welcomed break from the structure and lead you rhythmically and confidently into a final outburst of the now recognizable. The lyrics are easily memorable and the song’s title itself presents an unusual concept that’s likely to appeal. This meeting of classic Hip hop and soul is not often utilized in modern music – Eric Matthys undoubtedly has his sound and his approach to creativity, and it works strongly in his favor right now.
Alongside of everything is a brilliantly booming soundscape that meanders intentionally but energetically throughout the track. As stated, everything about this release just breathes new life into the genre and showcases the artist’s superb abilities in writing and performing songs that are refreshing and endlessly entertaining. A live show is a must.
