Empowering talent Matthew Morgan ruminates on the the work-life balance of the average citizen on scathing anthem “Right Back Down,” rooted in distinctly relatable portrayal of mundanity.
Taking apart the idealized ‘American dream,’ the impactful production is vindictive and cynical yet empathetic as it unfolds themes of sacrifice and the pursuit of normalcy amid trying to make a living.
Rooted in a Americana, indie-folk sound that allows for a freer and more open space for his contemplative lyrics and melodic vocal deliveries, the track is a refreshing turn in Morgan’s musical path.
The powerful core message of the track is elevated to new heights by the accompanying video which captures a a bleak, bad day at an office job, culminating in him having a violent daymare. Drab and dreary yet with touches of darkness peeking through, the visuals is a realistic and highly representative meditation on the daily dystopian office environment many workers experience.

An openly queer artist who understands the importance of writing songs that allow everyone to be seen, Morgan’s ability to weave resonant and sensitive sonic tales from unassuming nuggets of life has seen him establish himself as an acclaimed singer/songwriter.
Having begun his career as a musician in The Lost Brigade band before seeking out more of an introspective sound in his solo career, Morgan blossoms into a new era in his long-standing journey.
