Platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Dylan Matthew returns with his striking new single “SEX.” The track pairs sleek, modern production with the warmth and emotional storytelling of ‘70s and ‘80s icons like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, signaling a new era for the Southern California artist.
“Yes, the song ‘Sex’ is about a casual, friends-with-benefits relationship where one person is developing deeper feelings,” Dylan shares. “The lyrics explore the internal struggle of wanting to keep things strictly physical, even when desiring something more. It’s a relatable theme for many.”
Driven by live instrumentation, textured guitars, and Dylan’s trademark emotional clarity, “SEX” captures the push and pull between passion and vulnerability — confident, tender, and unfiltered. It also serves as the first taste of his forthcoming project, due out in early 2026, which promises to explore every corner of Dylan’s artistry: love, lust, heartbreak, and growth.
With over 1 billion streams across the Platinum-certified hit “Love Is Gone” and its acoustic counterpart, Dylan has become one of pop’s most dynamic voices. His previous projects, Kalopsia (2024) and no rain, no flowers (2025), earned widespread acclaim, while his live performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and sold-out headline shows have cemented his status as a captivating performer.
After taking time to travel solo through Europe — a personal reset that reignited his creative spark — Dylan returns more grounded and inspired than ever. “SEX” is the sound of that renewal: nostalgic yet fresh, intimate yet anthemic, and unapologetically him.
