Re Mattei
She’s a real smooth Pinot Noir, mixed with a little dirt, an ice cube, and stirred up real hard!
Re Mattei is a music scholar, global entertainer and guitar player. She launched her successful music career as the lead guitar player for the all female top-40 band The Uptown Girls. Redirecting her concentrations toward her own independent recordings, Re is poised to introduce her unique brand of musical talents as songwriter, composer, and instrumentalist. The “must-see” entertainer, who has toured the world playing in Japan, the Phillipines, Singapore, and Hawaii, celebrates a new single and EP to be released this Spring.
“Mattei breaks into some of the most original lead breaks I’ve heard.” – Terry Clark, Monadnock Shopper News
Save It For Someone Who Cares is one of my favorite songs to sing. It has that traditional country feel that I grew up listening to as a child. It takes that “he’s done me wrong” cheating country song and turns it into a courageous story of a woman who makes the choice to have the strength to walk away with dignity. Anyone who has had to make that difficult choice to walk away from love to preserve their own self love will be able to relate to this song.
It’s a game of cat and mouse wrapped up in a teasing country lyric. He is a smooth talking, heart breaker that will soon realize he has finally met his match. These two hearts have both been broken in the past. They are faced with the challenge of taking a chance at love and letting down their guard or seeing who’s heart gets broken first. She is up for the challenge as she flirtatiously dares him with the words “Try To Break My Heart”
It was my vision to create a song that would be uplifting, fun, and have a positive message. Whether you ride a motorcycle or just want to hang out and float down a river with your besties, this song is for you. I hope it puts a smile on your face and a ride in your heart. Whether your on 2 wheels, 4 wheeling, or on a pontoon boat, I hope this song helps your summer rock!
Feels Like It’s Gonna Rain is one of the few songs that I have recorded that I did not write. The first time I heard it tears rolled down my eyes. It was like it was written for me. It charted on the Country Music Row Breakout Charts. One of the co-writers is the very talented Carrie Underwood!
Bump Bump Bump is a true story about how music helped me to survive through a very difficult relationship and break up. It was my first single to chart on the Country Music Row Breakout Charts. I believe music has the power to heal us. Music has aways been my medicine…I hope my music can be your medicine!
“She launched into her set with passion and full joy, encouraging those in the audience to join her in an exciting hour of musical bliss. She engaged me instantly, and I couldn’t help but nod my head along to fun songs like Country Love and Try To Break My Heart. If you are a fan of Tammy Wynette and Johnny Rodriguez, I strongly encourage seeking out Re Mattei’s music” – The 99 Cent Bin
