Mattiel Goes Fully Independent for New Studio Album

Independence came on Wednesday when Mattiel signed with Absolute Label Services for a new studio album under her own label, Mattiel Worldwide.

With more than 250,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, the Atlanta-born and Italy-based project goes fully independent for the first time. She emerged with a self-titled debut album in 2017.

Absolute will provide digital and physical distribution, marketing, and project management for the upcoming release.

“Some fans may not know this, but it’s almost impossible to start a music career without giving up some ownership of your own material,” Mattiel Brown said.

“After years of working with labels, I’m grateful to now be releasing this record independently,” she added.

“Independence means I own what I create, I’m the one calling the shots, and I get to run this like the CEO of my own career. My songwriting is finally getting what it deserves,” Brown said.

Since her 2017 debut, Mattiel followed up with Satis Factory in 2019 and Georgia Gothic in 2022.

Her catalog includes the lead single “Count Your Blessings,” which generated more than 17 million streams on Spotify.

Her recordings have also appeared in television and film productions such as Netflix series Outer Banks and The Lincoln Lawyer, HBO series Ballers, and Steven Soderbergh’s film Let Them All Talk.

Senior Label Manager Dominic Squire outlined the company’s perspective on the new partnership in a statement.

“Mattiel is a modern icon in the world of indie, and we’re all so excited she has entrusted us at Absolute to support her label, Mattiel Worldwide, for the new album campaign,” Squire said.

Absolute provides routes to market for independent artists, managers, and labels.

Its client roster includes artists such as Alison Goldfrapp, Kaiser Chiefs, and CeCe Winans.

To celebrate her return, Mattiel will play a one-off sold out, intimate headline show at London’s George Tavern on Monday, November 16, 2026.

This performance precedes a full headline UK and European tour scheduled for May 2027.

That tour includes a scheduled stop at London’s EartH Theatre on May 13, 2027.

Further details regarding the new studio album and release dates remain forthcoming.
