Rising artist Oliver Malcolm travels far in new single "Skywalker" out nowFIRST PLAY ON BBC RADIO 1’s ANNIE MAC SHOWDEBUT PROJECT OUT THIS SPRINGOliver Malcolm by Kay IbrahimOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Universal Music Canada Praise for Oliver Malcolm: “With its deep bassline and bluesy melodies alchemizing jazz and pop influences, he crafts an almost tangible atmosphere of melancholy [in “Helen”] as pleas to a woman echo throughout” — Pigeons & Planes, Best New Artist “The drums lurch toward the offbeats, some looped guitar picking tugs against that pulse and Malcolm’s voice is a rattled, quavery moan...Everything stays off-kilter for the two and a half paranoid minutes of “Switched Off” by Oliver Malcolm” — New York Times, Playlist Fiery newcomer Oliver Malcolm burst on the scene a year ago with explosive debut “Switched Up,” a track that garnered the 20 year old one-man-band early critical praise from New York Times, FADER, NME, Clash and many more. Today he drops his new single “Skywalker,” an equally emotive song filled with 808s and addictive guitar licks, written and produced by Oliver himself. The track which will appear on his upcoming debut EP and was first played on Annie Mac’s Future Sounds Show on BBC Radio 1 and comes with an accompanying video. Listen to "Skywalker" BELOW Oliver had this to share: “Skywalker” might be Oliver Malcolm’s most personal track yet, written at a point in Oliver’s life where he made the brave decision leaving a successful production career to become an artist in his own right. The video is an homage of his new home, a sleepy countryside in Great Britain, and a smaller, tight knit crew of artistic bandits who have built solace in common soundscapes and an appetite for living unapologetically. “Skywalker” will appear on Oliver’s debut project out later this year and follows the release of previously acclaimed singles like “Switched Up,” “The Machine” and most recently “Outside” — a pensive track reflecting on the tough times of Covid.
