Matt B Unleashes A Dolby Atmos Masterpiece, ‘ALKEBULAN II’

Fresh off his first GRAMMY® win—and a historic one at that—Matt B isn’t just riding the wave of global acclaim; he’s creating a tidal shift in music itself. With the Dolby Atmos release of ‘ALKEBULAN II’ arriving March 28, the genre-defying artist, songwriter, and producer invites listeners into an immersive soundscape that’s not just heard but felt in every dimension.

Already celebrated for its cultural significance and musical brilliance, ‘ALKEBULAN II’ marks a major turning point—not only in Matt B’s career but in the evolution of global music. The album’s original release brought home the GRAMMY® for Best Global Music Album, a first not only for Matt B but for the legendary Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, whose lush arrangements elevate the record’s sonic tapestry. And now, with the Dolby Atmos edition, ‘ALKEBULAN II’ becomes something even more transcendent: a full-body experience.

From the moment the first note drops, listeners are transported across continents—guided by African rhythms, orchestral grandeur, and Matt B’s soul-stirring vocals. Tracks like the HMMA-winning “NO WAHALA” blend cinematic scope with emotional depth, while collaborations with Nomfundo Khambule and spoken word powerhouse Sekou Andrews bring voice to themes of unity, identity, and ancestral pride. In Dolby Atmos, each rhythm pulses with spatial clarity, each harmony unfurls like a painted mural, and each lyric resonates with a renewed sense of purpose.

Recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and produced alongside Angela V. Benson, the album is both a love letter to Africa and a bridge to a global audience. But Matt B doesn’t stop at sound—he paints with visuals too. The ‘ALKEBULAN II’ short film, co-directed by Matt and Benson, brings the music to life with stunning imagery shot across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Swakopmund, and Windhoek. It’s more than a companion piece; it’s a powerful visual anthem that will soon take center stage at film festivals around the world.

Matt B’s rise isn’t just about accolades—it’s about artistry, activism, and storytelling. From topping charts in Japan and China to being named one of Ranks Africa’s ‘100 Most Influential People in Entertainment,’ his journey is redefining what it means to be a global artist in today’s world.

With the Dolby Atmos release of ‘ALKEBULAN II,’ Matt B doesn’t just invite us to listen—he invites us to step inside his world. And once you’re in, it’s impossible to leave unchanged.
