Matt Hansen continues his rapid rise with “COMPASS,” an up-tempo pop track built for wide appeal. With over a billion streams and millions of monthly listeners already behind him, this release sounds like the work of an artist fully stepping into a global lane.
“COMPASS” leans into strong pop sensibilities while keeping emotion front and center. Matt’s vocal delivery is powerful and direct, carrying the song with confidence and clarity. There’s a clear resemblance to the style of Lewis Capaldi, especially in the way the melody lifts and the chorus hits with feeling, but Matt keeps the sound current and his own. The production is clean, energetic, and polished in a way that feels ready for mass streaming.
From a Spotify standpoint, “COMPASS” fits naturally alongside playlists like New Music Friday Pop, Pop Rising, Sad Songs, Teen Beats, Heartbreak Pop, and Fresh Finds Pop, where emotional pop records with strong vocals tend to perform well. The song has the pacing, hook, and vocal presence that translate easily across platforms and international audiences.
“COMPASS” feels like a momentum record, reinforcing Matt Hansen’s place as an artist who can balance emotion with accessibility while continuing to grow at a global scale.
