Del’Noire’s latest single, “Tyler Down,” is a profound musical exploration of trauma, recovery, and self-acceptance, drawn from the character of Tyler Down in Netflix’s ‘13 Reasons Why’. While Tyler’s story of being bullied and abused is fictional, the emotions it stirs resonate deeply with the real-world struggles faced by countless individuals. The track is not just a reflection of Tyler’s journey; it’s an anthem for anyone who has endured suffering and fought to reclaim themselves. Del’Noire, the musical project masterminded by Matyascorvinus, blends melancholy with danceable energy to craft a song that is both a sombre reflection and a hopeful embrace of healing.


From the moment “Tyler Down” begins, Del’Noire draws the listener into a world of emotional intensity with his signature style. The song opens with a delicate piano melody, the foundation of the track, and builds into layers of rhythmic beats and sweeping synths. The combination of melancholy minor chords and vibrant energy is quintessentially Del’Noire: a genre-defying mix that allows for introspection while still inviting movement. While the song addresses themes of bullying, isolation, and trauma, it also pulses with a sense of potential and recovery, showing that from pain, growth is possible. This duality of emotion, captured through music, reflects the complexity of Tyler’s journey in the series and the broader human experience.



The track’s underlying narrative is powerful yet subtle. In “Tyler Down,” Del’Noire takes artistic liberty by reimagining Tyler as a girl, emphasizing that pain and recovery are universal, transcending gender. This change in perspective broadens the song’s relatability, making it a voice for anyone who has struggled with their battles. The lyrics, though minimal, speak volumes: they represent the quiet resilience of an individual finding their way back after being broken down. As Tyler moves from isolation to acceptance, the listener is reminded that even in our darkest moments, there is a way forward, thus a lesson that Del’Noire imparts through both lyrics and melody.


What makes “Tyler Down” especially remarkable is the seamless integration of production and emotion. Matyascorvinus, who had previously felt stifled in his mixing and mastering skills, took a pivotal step toward refining Del’Noire’s sound by working with renowned mixing engineer Teemu Aalto. The result is a polished track that retains the raw emotional depth Del’Noire is known for, while also achieving a professional, dynamic sound. The careful balance between delicate, almost fragile piano lines and the rhythmic drive of electronic elements creates a tension that mirrors the inner turmoil of the song’s themes, highlighting both vulnerability and strength. This technical evolution has had a significant impact on the overall sonic journey of Del’Noire.


“Tyler Down” is a testament to the DIY ethos that defines the Del’Noire project. Matyascorvinus’ dedication to self-production and willingness to tackle the complexities of mixing and mastering on his own is integral to the music’s authenticity. By embracing the challenge of learning new skills and fine-tuning his sound, he’s created a piece of music that feels personal, honest, and uniquely his own. The track stands as a beacon for anyone looking to create their art—proof that with passion, determination, and the right tools, anything is possible. It’s a message that resonates deeply in the music and the narrative it conveys.


Ultimately, “Tyler Down” is a journey of transformation, both for the character it represents and for the artist behind the music. Del’Noire’s ability to fuse raw emotion with infectious melodies creates a track that’s not only relatable but also incredibly powerful. It serves as a reminder that, despite the worst experiences, recovery is possible, and even the darkest chapters can lead to a brighter future. As the first single in Del’Noire’s 2025 journey, “Tyler Down” sets a high bar for the rest of the upcoming releases, promising a year filled with more heartfelt, emotionally-driven music.
