Matreya made his name with slick, confident performances and a bit of controversy to match. But ‘Eagles’ is miles away from all that. It’s introspective, raw, and brimming with the kind of depth that only comes from experience. Right from the opening harmonies, there’s a sense of stillness—like he’s exhaling years of searching in one long, breathy falsetto. The production is cinematic yet restrained, blending soulful R&B, pop, and Afro-world elements into something that feels expansive but never overworked.
Lyrically, it’s all about resilience—about rising after the fall. But what makes ‘Eagles’ is how it’s delivered. Matreya doesn’t belt or force emotion; he lets it simmer, unfold naturally. And then there’s the video—a sweeping, meditative journey through the Scottish Highlands. Mist rolling over cliffs, rivers carving through ancient land, Matreya standing in flowing robes like some kind of modern-day mystic. It’s grand but grounded, personal but universal.
This is an artist who’s taken his time. Who’s stepped away, re-evaluated, and come back with something more honest than ever before.
