Rising Australian pop sensation, Oliver Cronin, sets the stage for his next chapter with the announcement of his upcoming EP, 'Halfway To Paradise,' set to release on October 3rd. Adding to the excitement, he's unveiled a playful new single, 'Girl Next Door,' featuring the talented Charley.
'Girl Next Door' is a vibrant and energetic pop track that feels both fresh and familiar. It showcases a charming back-and-forth between Oliver and Charley as they playfully compete for the same girl's attention. The song's production blends brooding undertones with soaring synths, creating an anthemic soundscape that's sure to become a highlight on the EP.
Oliver shared his enthusiasm about the collaboration: "I've been wanting to work with Charley on a track for years, and when I finished the verse, I knew I had to hit her up. The music video was so much fun, and working with Kyle was a breeze."
Charley echoed the sentiment, stating, "Oliver sent me this song a couple months ago and asked me to put a verse on it if I liked it. Turns out I loved it... I love how much of a duet it is, especially when the bridge hits."
'Halfway to Paradise' promises to be a testament to Oliver's growth and evolution since his debut EP, 'Beautiful Nightmare.' He reflects, "My life has changed in so many ways and I've grown a lot as an artist and a person since 'Beautiful Nightmare,' and I think this EP is a reflection of that." The EP will also include previously released singles, showcasing a diverse range of sounds and emotions, from the vulnerability of 'In The End' to the propulsive energy of 'Burning House' and the darkly distorted 'Hello Goodbye.'
Oliver's star has been steadily rising, with over 31.5 million combined streams and 500K monthly listeners on Spotify alone. 2024 has been a whirlwind for the young artist, including a sold-out debut headline tour and a global partnership with Warner Records. He's also been busy collaborating with artists like Joel Fletcher and Topic and recently received a nomination for "Best New Artist" at the Shure Rolling Stone Awards.
With his unique blend of catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and a knack for connecting with his audience, Oliver Cronin is undoubtedly an artist to watch. 'Halfway To Paradise' promises to be a thrilling next step in his musical journey, and 'Girl Next Door' offers a tantalising taste of what's to come.
