Optimistic yet realistic, Jason Nott effortlessly encapsulates youthful energy. Part pop-rock, part nostalgia-core, his new single “Matching Tattoos” revisits endless nights with your friends, questionable decisions ruling the day and turning into unforgettable memories.

The chord progression feels nostalgic; the mix’s aura gives heavy 2010s energy, when Imagine Dragons and Walk The Moon dominated alternative charts thanks to their moving, progressive hits (after hit, after hit). This formulaic emotional deep-dive earnestly captivates massive audiences. It’s worked for decades and worked for Jason Nott, too. He's set for life once his hooks fall on the right pair of ears.

Many coming-of-age anthems focus solely on teenage feelings of freedom and carelessness. However, this approach fails to recognize that this energy carries over into your entire 20’s, too, in most cases. In fact, as a 20-something, the song is more resonant now than it would have been in my restrictive teen years, with insecurity guiding my way.

Sonically aesthetically pleasing and emotionally driven, “Matching Tattoos” encourages reckless abandon and chaotic good, with powerful lead vocals and substantial production value overtaking a lyrical journey.
