The track is the revered rising artist’s first and only release of 2023.
On her engrossing new indie pop coming of age anthem ’21’, rising artist Matilda Pratt continues to showcase the stunning allure of her memorable sound and her charismatic charm and songwriting as an artist.
The track has a nostalgic and thoughtful feel to it throughout, with the artist stepping back into the shoes of her younger self and looking back at some of the dreams and aspirations that she had for the future. There is a really affable and relatable charm to the sound throughout, with the artist’s lush melodies and soulful vocals elevating an already stellar track to something that feels truly resonating and rewarding throughout. Life in your 20s can be confusing and scary and we can feel a little bit lost sometimes, and this track does a great job of articulating these feelings and bringing them to life in stirring fashion.
Matilda says: “I wrote “21” envisaging my younger self sitting by my side, thinking about the dreams I had when I was 7, and wondering whether she would be proud of who I am today and where she thought I would be at this stage in my life”.
