Nashville, Tenn. (October 10, 2025) — Curb Records newcomer MATTHEWS unveils a moment of infinite hope on “Broken Forever,” out today (10/10) — listen HERE. Offering a reminder that seasons change and every circumstance is temporary MATTHEWS pairs an R&B groove and emotional depth with a soaring vocal that attests to God’s ability to turn weeping into dancing and ashes into beauty.

A song for the wounded, the hopeless and the lost, “Broken Forever” stands as a welcome porch light, beckoning the weary soul home. The South African multi-instrumentalist wrote the track with Michael Farren and Tedd T., who also co-produced the ballad with MATTHEWS. “Broken Forever” follows on the heels of MATTHEWS’ feel-good debut, “Don’t Stop ’Til.” Watch the animated lyric video for his first funky original HERE.

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.

Stream or purchase “Broken Forever” HERE. Follow MATTHEWS’ journey on Instagram @matthewsphere.

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” and ”Broken Forever” are available now.
