That’s Matthew James’ “Paradise,” the first single from his upcoming debut album Ashes to Ashes, out this October on MJ Productions.

The Beat, The Vibe, and The Maltese Glow
So, what’s “Paradise” bringing to the airwaves? Matthew calls it “a pop, downtempo yet groovy cool song about stepping aside from the crazy fast pace of everyday life,” and it’s a stunner—imagine a laid-back 100 BPM Electro Pop groove, kicking off with shimmering synths and a glossy beat that hooks you like a sunlit retreat. Around 0:50, Commercial’s polished vocals glide in—Matthew’s voice, warm and inviting—layering over Adult Contemporary’s soulful chords, building to a drop at 1:30 that’s all mellow bass and groovy cool, a quiet paradise unfolding. It’s perfect for morning playlists, a reflective escape, or an 8 AM vibe to find your calm—check that 1:30 drop where the beat and heart sync in blissful harmony, paired with a “very cool” music video that’s already buzzing.
Matthew James is the Maltese singer-songwriter behind this, a prolific talent who’s penned countless number one hits—think “Paul” and “Young Again”—as frontman and producer for Red Electrick over a decade. Hailing from Malta, he’s toured Europe with the band, stacking three albums before launching his solo journey in 2018. “Paradise,” released March 1, 2025, via MJ Productions, is the lead single from his debut Ashes to Ashes (out October 2025), a milestone he’s hyped about: “It’s my time to shine,” he says on X, where fans call it “a pop haven.” With a knack for melody and soul, Matthew’s stepping aside from the fast lane to craft a sound that’s both commercial-ready and deeply personal—his team’s joy in making it shines through.
Electro Pop, Commercial, and Adult Contemporary are pulsing in 2025—playlists are buzzing with these glossy, heartfelt beats, and “Paradise” fits like a glove. It’s got that Spotify-ready spark—imagine it climbing Electro Pop Hits or Adult Contemporary Gems—or a TikTok clip syncing to its 1:30 groove. Matthew James’ Maltese roots and hitmaking legacy make this a track that’s both a morning must and a reflective keeper, perfect for keeping your Monday alive or easing into the day with a sound that’s as cool as it is calming—here’s to his solo shine!
