UK artist Matry has released his vibrant new single Sweet Lies, a feel-good track that fuses UK garage and house influences.
Drawing from real-life experiences, relationships, nightlife energy, and the journey of never giving up, Sweet Lies captures the essence of confidence, attraction, lifestyle, and embracing good vibes. At its core, the release also reflects themes of faith and persistence, as Matry spent years experimenting with different sounds to create a style that authentically represents him – blending emotion, confidence, and uplifting energy.
With “Sweet Lies,” Matry taps into the pulse of contemporary UK dance culture with remarkable precision, delivering a record that feels both electrifying and effortlessly refined. The production radiates movement, layering shimmering textures and bass-heavy grooves beneath sharp vocal execution that never loses its magnetic appeal. What makes the release especially impressive is the way Matry commands attention without forcing the moment, allowing style, rhythm, and natural presence to carry the experience. There is a polished maturity throughout the track that separates it from disposable club records, giving listeners something immersive enough for nightlife settings while still maintaining replay value beyond the dancefloor. Every element feels intentional, from the dynamic pacing to the addictive energy woven into the composition, reinforcing Matry’s ability to craft music that connects instantly while leaving a lasting impression within the UK garage and house space.
The track perfectly embodies Matry’s evolving sound, rooted in his West London upbringing. It delivers big beats, catchy hooks, and authentic rap verses that highlight his vibrant personality and Shepherd’s Bush heritage. Sweet Lies features legendary Heartless Crew member MC Bushkin, who adds classic UK garage influence and energy to the production. Crafted with heavy UK garage drums, house-inspired basslines, melodic synths, and infectious vocal hooks, the song blends rap flows with upbeat dance production to create a high-energy anthem built for clubs, parties, and social media moments.
Sweet Lies was recorded at Bushbash Studios, home to MC Bushkin. The process was creative and organic, with the team experimenting with flows, melodies, and energy until the perfect vibe was captured.
Matry hopes listeners will feel uplifted, confident, and energised when they hear the track, encouraging them to dance, quote lyrics with friends, and enjoy it in clubs, cars, and parties while connecting with the authenticity behind the words.
The release is supported by social media campaigns, playlist promotion, and upcoming visual content. Fans can anticipate live performances, DJ support, and Matry’s forthcoming Black Box freestyle appearance, which will further build momentum.
