OLYM is a New-York-based singer-songwriter and pop artist. His contemporary style and affectation evolves out of a more classical provenance. It has the dramatic keys and instrumental roles to show for it. There are orchestral structures that he sets up to timely elevate or escalate sonic events within his soundscapes. His release is ‘Boys Don’t Cry’, a track that he presents as a contemplative endeavor. There are remarkably expressive quotients, so fervent and real.
The track is on the mellower side of baroque, especially relative to bands like Panic! At the Disco. However it is a contemplative piece and an intimate presentation. We see the baroque lightly, manifesting in the reinforcing spirit of the harmonies, the floating rhythms, enriching textures, and the emo undertones of the vocals. They all lavish the soundscape with elegant theatrical themes that are immediately felt and experienced by the listener. It is molded with feeling, flowing from an authentic space and deep vulnerability.
OLYM debuted in 2021 with ‘Finest Hour’ and has since released two singles, of which ‘boys don’t cry’ is the latest. The song is available in four versions, each one casting a different perspective, relative to the rhythm. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
