Mati Serves Comfort and Introspection in the Soulful “Chicken Noodle Soup”
Close your eyes and picture a night in. You are having warm, nostalgic thoughts floating up like steam — that is the sound of “Chicken Noodle Soup” by Ethiopia-born, South Minneapolis-Raised Artist Mati! The artist's laid-back, boom-bap rhythm embrace like a cozy fireplace blanket while his introspective bars hit with the conversational and close-to-home confession. Yet this is not just another pop-rap performance; it's actually a piece of lyrical prose, drenched in clever metaphors and stark references to the process of self-discovery — or lack thereof. The beat is served up gracelessly and Mati’s voice taxis through as smooth as one can possibly fathom, swarmed in exhalations of a tranquil self. The metaphor of a lover “warming his heart like a can of chicken noodle soup” cleverly underscores the yearning for emotional comfort while facing life’s endless battles. It’s hard to hit pause when you’re this deep in the vibe; his heartfelt delivery is as unpretentious as it is profound, making you feel as though you’re eavesdropping on his inner dialogue.
