When you know my song in your broken heart and your hope is gone… I’ll be holding on again, I’m with you, I’m with you!
Johannesburg, South Africa (07 July 2021) – Matthew Mole is back with a brand new music video for his powerful love song, “I’m With You”.
The story starts out where Matthew goes about his daily life feeling very content, with his bright yellow balloon. He loses the balloon suddenly and at the same time, he seems to lose any hope that he might have had. In this state of hopelessness, he sets out on a journey to find his beloved balloon. He sticks up posters everywhere and tries to spread the word so that everyone he comes across is aware that he has lost his balloon. Eventually and unexpectedly, he stumbles upon his balloon in a dark, dingy alleyway somewhere. Completely refilled with contentment because he found his new balloon! Matthew then sees someone (Bouwer Bosch) in the same situation that he was just in: lost, hopeless and balloonless. So he gives them a balloon which ends up refilling their hope and contentment.
This bright, colourful balloon symbolises hope and the way our lives are affected when circumstances try to disrupt that hope.

Never been shy to wear his heart on his sleeve and process his thoughts through song, Matthew not only delivers a track that hits all the feels lyrically and musically but showcases his voice in ways that he hasn’t traditionally pushed to this degree before too.
Crafted with love at the core of the message, the track oozes spiritual sensibilities that delivers a natural high almost instantly. With his signature loop-and-acoustic sound combo at the foundation, the track simply breaths initially, building with pacing and emotion that, alongside his powerful falsetto melodies, eventually explodes into pure pop heaven.
After three successful albums, a live release, global touring and a slew of successful local shows, he continues to surprise fans with music that is fresh whilst still staying true to the Matthew Mole sound. With COVID taking such a stronghold on the performing arts, Matthews tours have been cancelled for almost two years running, seeing him re-focusing his creativity internally and using the internet as a communication tool. He has been highly active in fan engagement and song creation – and finally today we get to hear the results of his lockdown creative experience.
“I’m With You” is the perfect return song from SA’s most beloved indie-pop star. Widely respected by not only fans, but his peers alike, he has forged a path for several young SA stars to break into success based on a distinct Matthew Mole sound. His much-emulated and signature accented singing is one of his most beloved authentic quirks to date and continues to inspire young artists from South Africa to embrace their accent when singing. Coupled with the ability to constantly evolve and embrace new technology and musical sounds, Matthew remains a top-seeded trail-blazer with every step he takes.

Having spent the better part of a decade building himself up on the basis of nothing but good songs, raw talent and a humble attitude, Matthew embraces the winning formula that sees him remain true to himself, his beliefs and his commitment to his fans. As he prepares for a tour in 2022 and finishes up the recording process on his latest album, “I’m With You” is a fantastic reminder of we love Matthew Mole.
