Nashville, Tenn. (August 29, 2025) — New Curb Records artist MATTHEWS debuts soulful offering “Don’t Stop ’Til,” out today (8/29) — listen HERE. MATTHEWS pairs clever lyrics with a retro hook across the funky, R&B-infused original.

Acknowledging both sides of the coin — life is hard, but God is good — the South African-born artist implores listeners to not give up before the miracle happens as he introduces a feel-good song about perseverance and the grit it takes to realize a breakthrough. MATTHEWS penned and co-produced “Don’t Stop ’Til” with GRAMMY® Award-winning producerTedd T.

With his earliest connection to music deeply rooted in the church, the multi-instrumentalist co-wrote RIAA Platinum-certified hit “Here As In Heaven” and Gold-certified singles “Resurrecting” and “Echo,” cementing his reputation as a gifted songwriter and powerful singer.

Now, he’s stepping into a bold new era as a solo artist, melding his diverse musical influences with his honest, conversational lyrical style to create authentic, hopeful art that reminds listeners light can always be found — even in the darkest of moments.

His partnership with Curb was previously announced in February. “My passion for music is ingrained in the depths of hope and the magnificence of the sound of worship — the way it shifts atmospheres, brings healing and transforms lives,” MATTHEWS shared upon inking his recording contract with the iconic label. “Signing with Curb represents a dream unfolding — an opportunity to share my stories and my heart. My music is the outward expression of my inward experience, and my prayer is that it reaches those who need it most.”

About MATTHEWS:

MATTHEWS is a South African-born, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his powerful, soul-stirring vocals and innovative sound that blends multiple genres. First gaining recognition as a writer and artist on RIAA Gold-certified songs “Resurrecting” and “Echo,” along with RIAA Platinum-certified “Here As In Heaven,” MATTHEWS has evolved into a bold solo artist, crafting music that fuses gospel, alternative R&B, and anthemic soul. With his forthcoming Curb Records debut solo album, The Darkest Light, he steps into a new creative era — one that embraces raw storytelling, organic musicianship, and an unfiltered expression of faith and transformation. “Don’t Stop ’Til,” the first song from The Darkest Light, releases August 29, 2025.
