WATCH: 44phantom Releases Aching New Single, "all figured out"

Rising alternative star 44phantom has released a soft and heartfelt new track, “all figured out.” The single is a new take on his sound, and is all about learning to let go of unrequited love even when that decision causes pain. ““all figured out” is about accepting a person you care about has moved on,” says 44phantom. “Even if you wish they hadn't, you gotta respect it.”

The track contrasts 44phantom’s typical electric guitar and hip-hop infused sound with just a stripped acoustic guitar backing to his incredible vocals. The song allows his voice to really shine through. The lyrics reveal a soft side to 44phantom who is not afraid to be emotionally vulnerable or speak up about his true feelings. “I want to let everybody know it’s okay to be upfront with how you feel,” 44phantom said about the track. “It’s okay to be sad or mad. You don’t have to chase fake happiness. Look for the real thing. My music is really about that.”

The video is an arresting experience, all filmed in one take that slowly pans out from 44phantom’s face to reveal a graffitied garage and a sports car circling donuts around him. Directed by Ryan Jay, the visuals come off as a bit of a shock as the song sounds much more understated. But the lyrics build in intensity as 44phantom continues, and by the end, the listener is fully enraptured by his sound.

44phantom, whose real name is Brayton Matthews, is one of the fastest growing artists in music today. He was born in Oklahoma, but after he moved to Seattle with his mom in high school, he was inspired to start recording his music by the culture shock of moving from a small town to a big city. He has always been a songwriter, writing his first song when he was 8, and it is that level of dedication and natural talent that makes his music stand out above the rest.

“all figured out” caps off an incredible year of releases from 44phantom. His debut EP Bittersweet was a hit in the underground alternative scene, and he has racked up over 2 million streams across internet platforms. Fans of Post Malone, blackbear, and FLETCHER will love his alternative sound mixed with hip-hops beats and moody lyrics. Prior to “all figured out,” his singles “Save Me” and “let’s be friends” were stellar follow-ups to his first EP that really flushed out his sound and image. Stay tuned for more exciting projects on the way!
