matt sak Drops Scintillating New Single “Ducati”
matt sak is a rising artist originally from San Diego, California, and currently based in Washington state. Influenced by the lo-fi vocals of Damon Albarn and the freestyle prowess of Future, matt is building a name for himself with his confident vocal delivery and booming instrumentals, as can be heard on his brand-new single, “Ducati”.
The track stands out on first listen with its captivating beat and matt’s ethereal vocals and melodic flow as he fuses hip-hop with pop sensibilities. It’s only his second release following debut single “Jumped the Gun” last year, but it’s already clear from what can be heard so far that matt has a bright future ahead and will be around for a long time to come. Speaking further on “Ducati”, matt says, “This song started from sampling the Red Light Green Light sound from Squid Game. Once I sped it up, I added the beat and the bass, and then I wrote the melody and the words right away. After that, I added the chords, and that’s pretty much the song.
“I wanted to create something that felt good without needing a big explanation as to why it’s good. I wanted to create something good in the same way a sunset is good or the lines on a classic car are good. I wanted something people would want to play in the car or for their friends when they have people over or by themselves in their headphones.”

Keep up to date with the latest from matt sak:
A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
