I just had to post this
oooooooohhhhhh you semasoulalai 2025
[ID: a screenshot of an Instagram(?) DM from a fake user or scammer also named Matt Bellamy with the profile picture of the statue of Matt’s head from the WOTP artwork. Matt messaged the user saying, “hi it’s me me Matt Bellamy I need 173$ to continue making my new album (coming out 2025)”. A second message reads, “oooooooohhhhhh you semasoulalai” (likely a loose transcription “oh you set my soul alight” lol)]
My favourite thing about it is all the details they got right:
-> 3-year gap between albums tradition: the next Muse album may indeed come out in 2025 #oooooooohhhhhhYouSemasoulalai2025
-> oooooooohhhhhh you semasoulalai
-> “hi it’s me Matt Bellamy” is almost “hi it’s Matt from Muse” (I’d have lost my mind if they said that)
-> “173$” <- practically a Muse ticket these days (plus tax plus ticket master)
-> “my new album” a sequel to cryosleep? Teasing a new album through a scam? What a Matt thing to do #WillTheHacker22
Some lore for anyone who was confused about where that semasoulalai meme comes from
