Chart-topping, singer-songwriter Matt Maeson has released new single, “Get Happy,” available everywhere now via Neon Gold/Atlantic Records.
"Get Happy" is Matt Maeson at his loudest - an anthemic rock track that showcases his strengths as a songwriter and performer. With a driving guitar riff, the song addresses Matt's experience with trying to maintain his mental health while experiencing the stresses of balancing being a touring musician, parent, partner, artist + more.
“Get Happy” follows Matt’s introspective single “Rational” which was released last month. Prior to that, Maeson dropped his highly anticipated second studio album, Never Had To Leave in 2022, a revelatory body of work that embodies a newfound hopefulness while reinforcing the raw intensity and unapologetic truth-telling that have defined Maeson’s music from the very start.
Never Had To Leave includes the anthemic single “Cut Deep,” produced by Kenny Beats and ClickNPress and the mesmerizing “Blood Runs Red.”
2019 saw Matt Maeson arrive at the forefront of American Alternative music with his critically acclaimed breakthrough debut album, Bank On The Funeral, highlighted by single, “Cringe,” which spent four consecutive weeks atop Billboard’s “Alternative Songs” chart after a steady 25-week climb. Maeson then made history with “Hallucinogenics (Feat. Lana Del Rey),” which spent three weeks at #1 on the Alternative chart. The triumphant success of “Hallucinogenics” affirmed Maeson as the first ever male solo artist to earn two #1 Alternative hits from a full-length debut album and only the fifth male artist to accomplish that achievement following iconic superstars Beck, Elvis Costello, Peter Gabriel, and Morrissey. Moreover, Maeson joined Cage the Elephant and Bush as one of only three artists in history have had two number #1 Alternative hits on their debut album.
