Critically-acclaimed DJ and producer Matoma has released a new single, “Heart So Big” – a collaboration with electronic dance-pop trio A R I Z O N A. The track was written with A R I Z O N A’s longtime collaborator PJ Bianco as a love letter to his son with autism, and seeks to celebrate each one of us for the special gifts we bring to the world.
Matoma shares, “PJ sent me this idea he was working on and I immediately fell head over heels in love. This song was pure emotion. As we’ve been making these plans for release around National Autism Awareness Month, and we’ve been seeing the tragedies occurring in Ukraine, we really felt there is a wider message in this song – a message of celebrating the joys of love and humanity in all shapes and forms. We hope that some of our initiatives around this release will make a positive change and spread love at a time when we all need it.“
“This song, along with the hopes of raising autism awareness, carries a special notion in general that we should remember to cherish and protect the ones we love in our lives. Sometimes we can be all they have, or vice versa.” A R I Z O N A elaborates.
Following previous singles “Take Me To The Sunshine”featuring Super-Hi and Bullysongs, “Never Surrender” featuring Steve Garrigan of Kodaline , which scored record numbers of streams in their first week, Matoma is proving time after time that he is a force in the current electronic world. “Never Surrender” took off with Steve and Matoma delivering an exclusive performance on The Tonight Show on NET TV, Indonesia’s top nightly talk show, along with the track entering 17 radio stations across Southeast Asia – including Hard Rock FM (Indonesia) and Rad Radio (Thailand), and amassed millions of streams in under a month.
