Matilde G has a history of pouring her soul out in her music, and her latest single, “Cold,” is no exception to how deeply she can make someone feel. This young Italian pop star based in Singapore makes an affecting breakup anthem that sums up how devastated love can make you.
“Cold” has you in a chilly soundscape, grinding yet intoxicating. Matilde’s fragile yet powerful vocals soar over a hauntingly beautiful production that makes the song’s emotional heft come to life. Created in collaboration with Isak Alvedahl and Josefin Glenmark and produced by the great Martin Hansen (who has worked with Scorpions, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica, etc), this track displays emotional storytelling.
What makes “Cold” so compelling is how it renders pain poetic. The lyrics evoke the pain of heartbreak in its rawest form, where you numb and question everything that has once filled your life, and the absence of that warmth gives you pause in a world where everything feels hollow. But despite its sadness, the song conveys a soft strength, a reminder that pain doesn’t last and you can heal.
Matilde G feels the song reflects those moments when the pain is all-consuming, and the world is cold. That sense of most intimate confession, shared, is present in every note, as the music rises from introspective confession to emotional release, echoing how heartbreak does linger before relenting. With “Cold,” Matilde G continues to stake her claim in global pop, showing that vulnerability is strength and that the most beautiful music often emerges from painful life events. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever felt the sting of love slipping away.
