Matthew Charles Shares New Single ‘The Deep End’ – Rising South African singer-songwriter Matthew Charles has released his brand-new single, ‘The Deep End‘, the latest step in his growing catalogue. The track appears as the second-last song on his upcoming debut EP and showcases his ability to balance emotional depth with an undeniably catchy sound.
“This song dives into the feeling of knowing you’re about to go through a hard time but trying to make the most of what you’ve got left. It was inspired by something very personal to me. A special person in my life was moving away, and we had limited time together. I wanted to capture that mix of sadness and joy.” ~ Matthew Charles
Co-written with Helena Bowie (producer) and co-produced by Matthew May, ‘The Deep End‘ started as a simple piano sketch before being transformed into a big, impactful production. To reflect its origins, Matthew has also released a stripped piano version. “It captures an extra layer of emotion and brings the song back to where it began. I’m super excited for people to hear both versions.”

To connect with fans through honesty, emotion, and a fresh take on pop. Each release has pushed him closer to the debut EP, which promises to showcase the full range of his artistry.
