I spent some time with Matt DeAngelis’ single “Livin’ It” and it’s the kind of song that eases its way in, letting you settle into its mood before you even realize how much it hooked you. It starts with a simple piano line that feels like someone opening a door and inviting you in, with a soft bass underneath that starts to warm the space. Little by little, the sound grows, and guitars slide in with this calm confidence that shapes the atmosphere without taking over.
Matt’s voice comes through in a really natural way, textured and steady, almost like someone sharing a thought they’ve held on to for a while. He talks about confusion and trying to make sense of where life is going, but also about learning to keep going even when the path feels unclear. The words give off this mix of hesitation and hope, the kind that makes you think about your own moments of trying to stay grounded when everything shifts around you.
As the song unfolds, it gives you room to sit with it. The light swell of horns and the soft synth touches add color without pushing too hard. By the time the chorus settles in, it carries a calm strength that feels earned. Nothing feels pushed or exaggerated. It’s the kind of track that meets you where you are and keeps you company instead of steering you somewhere you’re not ready to go.
When it wraps up, the quiet hangs in a way that encourages you to think for a moment before moving on with your day. “Livin’ It” feels honest, steady, and shaped with care, the kind of song you return to when you want something that rings true without big showmanship.
If you haven’t heard it yet, give “Livin’ It” a listen and follow Matt on social media and Spotify to stay updated on new releases.
