Mathea-Mari makes a poignant return to the music world with her impactful new single, "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart," after a several-year hiatus from the industry. Already a seasoned artist at only 24, the singer-songwriter steps into a more grown-up lamplight now, combining openness with resilience in a song that cuts to the quick and salves the wound at the same time.
This is a song that admits to feeling emotionally drained, and it's so transparent and honest that it's like a whisper in the dark. There's that rawness to Mathea-Mari's voice, the kind that can only come from living. Her voice is a deeply felt lament, and still she never breaks. She's hurt, but she's also rising.
It's not just in her voice that the magic of the song lies, though. The words are by Christian Burns, who is famous for writing lyrics with heart alongside big names like Tiësto and Paul Oakenfold. With a cinematic pop sound, the track, composed by Matt Alvers, resonates with melancholy and a soaring feeling of emancipation.
Producer Chris Gill cobbles it all together with precision and depth as the band's immense sound cascades and crashes like waves against a stormy shore. And with Ted Jensen's mastering touch at Sterling Sound, the result is gleaming without any sacrifice of soul.
"Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" is that part in the movie where the protagonist finally leaves behind something that no longer serves them, not because they're defeated, but because they're more attuned and resilient. It's a reminder of how healing isn't a straight line, and sometimes, love's grandest gesture is choosing yourself. This song marks a brave new step for Mathea-Mari, where pop meets poetic resistance.
