The Matrix, a group of producers who have worked with such high profile stars as Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne and Korn, have dropped a self-titled debut album on iTunes.

Matrix member Scott Spock explained to MTV News in 2003, the group had been saving songs for themselves for years and that the then unknown-artists would soon become “very well known.”

Release dates came and gone, followed by the departing of the group’s manager. When they rejoined with their manager last year, they decided to bring up the album once more. “We said, ‘Let’s release the Matrix album, because it’s a great album,’ ” said Lauren Christy a member of the Matrx, to MTV News.

The band was given the rights to the album after Columbia Records failed to release it, so they planned on releasing it trough their own label, Let’s Hear It Records.

“We had the dates set up with iTunes … and then ‘I Kissed a Girl’ exploded,” Christy told MTV News. “I spoke to Katy about it, and she wanted to wait until the fourth single off her album was released.”

The Matrix album also features British singer Adam Longlands and includes many songs fronted by Perry.
