Matt and Kim strike again with their new single “Glad I Tried,” off their forthcoming album Almost Everyday, arriving May 4 via Fader Label. The new song features Santigold, Kevin Ray (Walk the Moon) and Travis Hawley (Night Riots).
Much like “Forever” and this past February’s “Like I Used To Be,” the synth-pop duo are very much nostalgic for the past but in a feel-good way. The duo use their trademark sound to create a sense of euphoria with synths, anthemic pop melodies and simple piano. The lyric content mirrors the happy outlook as the duo sings, “Back when I was still alive / Thought I was old at 25 / But bruised till the end of time / Spent my whole life in my prime.”
