about

MATONDO‘s new EP named „Complex I“ is, as the name says, a complex of experiences, thoughts and layers of the singer, songwriter and producer. The sometimes overwhelming complexity of life and of self reflects in this body of work, each of the songs taking you on a journey full of unanswered questions and at the same time, let you find some comfort.

From „Coco Butter Skin“, which is an ode to black women and a critic of the commercialization of their attributes, to „Hey You“, which tackles the topic of generational trauma, to „Girls Like Us“ that highlights the inhuman standards which are applied to women - all matters of urgency. Songs like „For You, For Me“ as well as „Magic“ and „Hide and Peak“ tell personal stories of, hurt, growth and joy. All of these themes are carried by bouncy basslines, the mix of acoustic and electronic sounds, paired with her unique voice.

The self written and -produced EP marks a next step in the revelation of the musical world of MATONDO.

lyrics

Girls with bodies like yours should know
Girls with attitude like yours should know
Girls with curves like you should know
Girls as loud as you should know
Women your age really should know
Mothers who live like you should know

Boys like it natural
But without make up you look sick
Boys like young
And tight vaginas for their dicks

And still we say, still we say, still we say

Not one drop of my self worth depends on your acceptance of me
Not one drop of my self worth depends on your acceptance
Cause my body's always mine, mine, mine, mine
My body's always mine, mine, mine, mine
My life is always mine, mine, mine, mine
My mind is always mine, mine, mine, mine

Let me deserve my next meal
Uuh this tummy tea is the real deal
You know summer bodies are made in winter
So please hate yourself starting from November

How nice would it be
To show the real, real me
To show my weaknesses
Keep the power of us sorceresses

Not one drop of my self worth depends on your acceptance of me
Not one drop of my self worth depends on your acceptance
Cause my body's always mine, mine, mine, mine
My body's always mine, mine, mine, mine
My life is always mine, mine, mine, mine
My mind is always mine, mine, mine, mine

Girls with bodies like yours should know
Girls with attitude like yours should know
Women your age really should know
Mothers who live like you should know
