Bust out the beach umbrellas and Aperol spritz because Boorloo/ Perth-based indie pop artist Olivia De Melo is teaming up with alt hip pop artist Wesley Black on this sugary, feel-good track - 'SOAK' is out on Friday, October 6.

For the unacquainted, Olivia De Melo has been making waves in 2023. Already having released three singles, she is working away on her debut EP and prepping for a bunch of local and even international tour dates.

The newly appointed RTR FM Homegrown presenter effortlessly navigates across genres, but it's her honeyed alt-pop vocals, adorned with rich harmonies and captivating melodies, that truly set her apart. Since debuting, De Melo has graced the stages with her absorbing brand of pop at Western Australia's most popular venues and has shared the limelight with Aussie and WA favourites like Dulcie, Nick Cunningham, Timothy Nelson, and more.

In her latest endeavour, De Melo collaborates with Wesley Black to deliver the lush 2023 pop anthem, 'SOAK'. This thirst-quenching track serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, the sun still shines, and positivity goes a long way.

With a stripped-back, melodious chorus intro with cool guitar stabs and floaty keys, the song is firmly established when the Post Malone-esque pop groove sets in, accompanied by Wesley Black's smooth verse, infusing a Kid Laroi-like flavour.

'SOAK' exudes good vibes with an energetic yet laid-back flair and pop sweetness, offering a radio-ready appeal. The track's essence captures the spirit of living fully, even in the face of financial constraints. A celebration of living large on a dime, it's inescapably uplifting, all while addressing the prevalent challenges posed by the increasing cost of living.

Soak up the sun with Olivia De Melo and Wesley Black on Friday, October 6, when they release this bubbly and addictive number.
