Discography:
Eastern Trees (The Extended Moav Mix) by Matell

Don't let the lyrics fool you, its not about hating white people, this song is a follow-up to a classic song from Billie Holiday "Strange Fruit."

Matell's version takes on the views of what is happening in Iraq with our troops and why are they dying in this war. Eastern Trees is not about protesting the war, its simply saying our men and women are dying and certain Iraqi persons are killing our men & women. This must stop now.

Eastern Trees is written in the style of "Strange Fruit" but in Billie Holiday's the theme was about blacks being lynched in the South.

Is Iraq not the same? In following up Matell had this question, What would Lady Day say if she was alive today?

Bastille Soul & This Is What's Been Goin On (Since You've Been Gone)
Its a song about where have we come since Jesus Been Gone, Since Marvin Gaye wrote a song called Whats Going On - my song takes the perspective of What would Marvin say? What would Jesus say?

You Found Me (Laidback In2Me) 2008 Mix
It was a number one Gospel song in early 2008, and I didn't write it has a gospel song, but its about saving the children of this WORLD from dying, stop mothers from abandoning them, stop abused, stop sexual abuse. In the words it say "You found me at my worst, and I thought my life was curse, but now I'm found..."

Love Brokeback Mountain (Mountain Mix)
This song does not support the gay rights to marry if that what you think, its wrong. This song is purely about LOVE, loving someone that doesn't love you back and that's why its call a Love Brokeback as the words say in the song. Yes this song was inspired by the movie Brokeback Mountain, and its stars Jake Gyllenhaal and the late Heath Ledger. Can't we take and learn from other cultures? And grow from that?
