Released on October 17th, 2025, “Be Love” marks a triumphant new chapter for Birmingham-born artist Matreya, the musical rebirth of former X Factor UK contestant Mason Noise. Emerging from years of spiritual and personal transformation, Matreya delivers a euphoric Afrobeats-infused soul anthem that feels both timeless and urgently modern. At its heart, “Be Love” is a radiant call to unity — a message that could not be more needed in the world today.
The track opens with an irresistible Afrobeats groove, layered with live horns, warm percussion, and glowing synth textures, immediately establishing a vibrant and organic soundscape. Co-produced by Reece Hayden and Iwan VanHetten (whose credits include Sister Sledge, The Pointer Sisters, and Jools Holland), the production feels alive — a celebration of rhythm and spirit. Every element, from the hand-played instruments to the vocal harmonies, pulses with an earthy authenticity that grounds the song’s cosmic energy.
Matreya describes “Be Love” as “a carnival on a spaceship,” and that’s exactly what it feels like — a blend of joy, soul, and transcendence that invites you to move and reflect at the same time. His soaring vocals glide effortlessly over the rhythmic layers, shifting between smooth R&B tones and impassioned soul phrasing. There’s a sense of liberation in his delivery, as if he’s channeling the very essence of his message: love as both an emotion and an act of awakening.
Lyrically, “Be Love” is simple yet profound. It’s not a love song in the romantic sense, but rather a spiritual anthem that reminds us of our shared humanity. Matreya’s words are a meditation on unity, compassion, and self-awareness — the kind of message that transcends genre or trend. At a time when the world feels increasingly divided, he offers a musical mantra: to rise above fear, to reconnect, and to embody love itself.
What makes “Be Love” so powerful is the authenticity behind it. After stepping away from fame, Matreya immersed himself in Reiki, yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong, experiences that have clearly shaped his music. That journey from ego to enlightenment is present in every note — you can hear both his past fire and his newfound calm coexisting in harmony. It’s rare to find an artist who can merge personal evolution with accessible, radio-ready music, but Matreya achieves it gracefully.
The critical response has already been glowing. BBC Introducing’s Theo Johnson called the music “amazing,” while Earmilk described it as “a statement of survival and spiritual awakening.” These aren’t empty praises — “Be Love” genuinely feels like a renewal of purpose, not just for the artist, but for anyone who listens. The track’s energy is infectious, its groove uplifting, and its message grounding.
With “Be Love,” Matreya steps fully into his new identity — not just as a singer, but as a messenger. His sound blends the rhythmic pulse of Afrobeats, the emotional weight of soul, and the expansive vision of world music, resulting in something uniquely his own. It’s music with heart and higher consciousness — the kind that doesn’t just play through speakers, but resonates deeply within.
Ultimately, “Be Love” is more than a song; it’s an awakening wrapped in rhythm. A reminder, as Matreya himself puts it, “of who we really are and what truly matters.”
