The keen reader might remember young talent Olie Beckett. Writing about last year’s single ‘Effortlessly’, we proudly declared it a “vibrant offering, showcasing all of his malleability and extensive tonal range”. We stand by our words; despite his young age, the American talent seems to have reached a pivotal point in his development, with fierce, dynamic vocals providing the perfect hook for any intriguing listener out there.
‘Whiplash’ is Beckett’s comeback single, the first to be released this year. In it, he continues the mainstream, uplifting pop path he was on, all drenched with expressive lyricism and relatable themes. Packed with dance grooves and soulful harmonies, the record showcases Olie’s extensive growth and never-ending improvements, as he gradually builds a bigger audience.
Having already received praises from the likes of Nick Music, Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, and V13, among others, we are confident that the project is headed for triumphal territories. Judging by what we hear in ‘Whiplash’, it is all just a matter of time. As Beckett explains: “It’s not always easy, but it’s super exciting to create something that feels truly like you. This is when the creative process sparkles – when you mix your own personality into a genre or song you create.”
