Syd Matters

There are firsts you never forget. The first time we heard the captivating voice of Syd matters is one of them.

From End & Start Again, his first single in 2003, the warm, heartfelt singing of Jonathan Morali and his singular melodies, as if from another era, revealed an artist apart. Four albums followed, along with their share of unforgettable songs: Black & White Eyes, Obstacles, To All Of You, and I Might Float, which marked a whole generation. On stage, people remember intense concerts where the singer and his musicians delivered performances that were both epic and intimate.

Then Jonathan Morali became more discreet, but still just as prolific, writing for theatre, video games and cinema, collaborating with Éric Rochant, Rémi Chayé, Thoms Litli, and on the remarkable series Life Is Strange, a worldwide hit that introduced him to a new audience. Having been away for too long, Syd matters will make a grand return on record with a new album, his fifth, due out in September 2026 on the Créature label (Fishbach, Chassol…). He will then tour France and Europe, returning to the legendary stage of the Olympia on 17 November 2026, where he will play his new songs. And others that we know by heart and have not forgotten.
