This is the first episode in our new visual series entitled “Rhythm & Blues.” The idea behind the segment is for artists to focus on and share details about their latest single, or a specific favorite song, and really discuss the background of the record, from the early stages of the production, to the thoughts and feelings behind the lyrics, and then the final product. Starting off the series is burgeoning singer/songwriter/producer Mateo.
In this edition of ThisisRnB Presents: Rhythm & Blues, Mateo breaks down his brand new single “Say It’s So” featuring Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz. The rising star talks about the initial production to the writing and thoughts behind his lyrics.
For those of you in the L.A. area Mateo will be co-headlining an intimate show at The Roxy tonight, alongside Diddy-Dirty Money star Dawn Richard, and up and coming singer/songwriter Stacey Barthe.
