EXCLUSIVE! Step Aside Lady Gaga, Here Comes Matisse!

She’s got the looks, the talent, and, above all, the personality to be the next big thing!

It’s time to make those summer playlists BFFs and Matisse, 25, is one artist that must be on it. Her hit single, “Better than Her,” is currently #9 on Billboard’s Dance Chart and will be featured in tonight’s episode of The Hills. I interviewed the sultry songstress on June 4th and she wants to let the world know, “my whole album and my message is to empower girls and know their power and their strength. The guy is not the prize, you are!”

And she is true to her word! Matisse is a strong and independent woman. She started her singing career with twin sister Alex Smith and made it big in the UK with their song”Let it Go” from the Step Up 2 soundtrack. But when her sis decided the music world was not for her, Matisse stuck with it! Now she’s going solo and going strong in the U.S.

Matisse also broke major news to us about her future recording plans! Artists, Kevin Rudolf and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic just wrote a song for her that she “might be doing with Cobra Starship!”

Oh, and did I mention that she has a song with Lady Gaga coming out soon?!

How exciting is that BFFS?! Tune into The Hills tonight to hear Matisse and get ready to see a lot more of this amazing talent.
