Birmingham-born artist Matreya, formerly known as Mason Noise, marks a highly anticipated return to music with the release of his debut single, ‘Eagles’, on February the 7th. A reflective and hopeful exploration of resilience and transformation, ‘Eagles’ heralds a bold new chapter in the life and career of this multifaceted artist.
Emerging from a period of personal reinvention, Matreya’s debut single, ‘Eagles’, showcases a voice that resonates with raw emotion and spiritual resilience. Seamlessly weaving together elements of pop, soul, and Afro-world influences, the track pairs honest, poignant lyrics with a performance that highlights his remarkable vocal range, smooth melodic precision, and a falsetto that is as tender as it is powerful. ‘Eagles’ is accompanied by a visually striking music video, filmed in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. The video’s sweeping drone footage captures verdant hills rising through the mist, a meandering river, and Matreya adorned in flowing robes, embodying the song’s themes of transformation and inner peace.
“‘Eagles’ is a reflection of everything I’ve been through—the grief, the healing, and the lessons I’ve learnt about trusting your path and embracing transformation,” says Matreya. “It’s about finding one’s courage and inner strength through life’s challenges and discovering one’s unique life purpose.”
Richly layered with a cinematic soundscape and uplifting themes of triumph and self-discovery, ‘Eagles’ offers a poignant preview of Matreya’s upcoming debut album, ‘Anchor’, set for release in late 2025. The album promises an intimate and soul-stirring exploration of his journey, exploring themes of love, loss, and renewal with unflinching honesty. January sets the stage for bold new voices, and Matreya leads the charge with an album that redefines resilience and creativity.
Matreya first captured public attention as Mason Noise on The X Factor in 2015, where his fearless performances and charismatic stage presence left an indelible mark. However, his meteoric rise was closely followed by personal tragedy: the sudden loss of his girlfriend, an event that profoundly altered his life and led to an extended hiatus from music. During this transformative period, Matreya found solace in holistic healing, becoming a Reiki practitioner and reconnecting with his creative purpose.
With ‘Eagles’, Matreya invites listeners to embark on a journey of healing, resilience, and hope. The single will be available on all major streaming platforms from February the 7th, offering a powerful and emotive reintroduction to an artist reborn.
