Global heavyweight Matt Fax releases Behind Blue Eyes – a progressive house reworking of the classic rock track and the latest single from his forthcoming studio album.

Originally written and recorded by The Who and released on their 1971 album Who’s Next, Behind Blue Eyes was notably covered by Limp Bizkit in 2003 and went on to be a global hit for the group, reaching No.1 in the Czech Republic and Sweden and charted in the top three in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Norway.

Matt Fax’s version keeps the iconic vocal intact, but brings the song definitively into his space. Teaming up with singer, composer and one-third of love drum & bass band Sleeping Dragon Chris Howard, he juxtaposes the plaintive lyrics alongside soaring progressive melodies and gritty synth lines to create a truly epic, memorable dance anthem.

“Behind Blue Eyes started as a personal version of this classic The Who track I was listening a lot while making the album. The lyrics totally echoed what I was feeling, when you feel like nobody understands you. It’s one of the most important track of the upcoming album.” Matt Fax

Behind Blue Eyes is the second single to be released from Matt’s forthcoming studio album The Story Of The Fall which will see him stepping out from his usual progressive-driven sound.

Set for release in July 2023, the 12-track album traverses a wide range of electronic-subgenres. From club-ready, gritty basslines and cascading synths to melodic, vocal-led cuts, The Story Of The Fall embodies Matt’s 11-year path to the global heavyweight he is today, and lays the foundations for his sound for the future.
