Warner Music Nashville’s Chase Matthew forges ahead with his Always Be Mine EP today (7/4), matching raw chest-thumping talent with emotional insight – just in time for the holiday weekend.

“These are the songs I’d listen to this summer! There’s also a little sequel buried in there,” shares Matthew. “From a sandy beach to the heartbreak highway – there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re feeling crazy or lazy, here’s a cheers to the summer!”

Reflecting Matthew’s most mature, melodic work to date, the Always Be Mine EP follows a series of career-building milestones and features five fresh tracks, each one mixing modern Country muscle with timeless lyricism and a unique-to-Matthew edge. 

Upping his already buzzed-about game, the Nashville native earns credit as a co-writer on four of five new tunes like the nostalgic, yearning title track “Always Be Mine,” which fuses a slow-grooving cruise through romantic memory with an unfiltered look at reality as it is. Built around an acoustic guitar melody and soft synthetic beats, Matthew’s tender-yet-tough vocal croons about a love that didn’t last, but will always be the one he measures the rest against – co-penned by the hitmaker with Jacob Durrett (also the producer), Andy Albert, Jaxson Free, and Taylor Phillips. Listen to “Always Be Mine” here.

Meanwhile, Matthew is delivering the official music video for “Saltwater Cinderella” today (7/4) as well, bringing the sand and steam of a red-hot summer fling to life. Directed by West Webb, the clip perfectly captures the essence of a heart-pounding Country banger, dedicated by Matthew to beachside beauties from 30A to California and beyond – but that’s not all. Also infused with live performance footage (and real-life ‘Saltwater Cinderellas’) from Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City Beach, FL, the music video leaves no doubt about the adrenaline rush of Matthew’s live shows.
