Some voices just hit different, you know? Matt Hansen, the LA-based singer-songwriter and guitarist, possesses exactly that kind of voice—one packed with raw conviction, genuine passion, and the unmistakable depth that comes from living through real stories.
His newest single "COMPASS" puts this vocal prowess on full display. Hansen’s voice absolutely soars above a deceptively simple, new-wave-inspired guitar line paired with instrumentation that tugs at your nostalgic heartstrings.
But honestly? It’s that top-line melody and his vocal delivery that really send this track into orbit.
Lyrically speaking, "COMPASS" reads like a love letter wrapped in tenderness and romance. The song paints this beautiful picture of a partner who essentially becomes your North Star—that special someone who navigates you through life’s rougher patches toward those much-needed calmer waters.
When discussing the track, Hansen explained: "I wrote Compass about the kind of love that keeps you centered—the person who pulls you back when you start to drift."
It’s honestly the perfect release for this holiday season. An ideal track to share with that person who grounds you during those darker moments and lifts your spirits just by existing in your world.
