Oscar and the Wolf raves to forget on the hot-blooded ‘Spill My Liquor’
Ahead of his fourth album TASTE, Oscar and the Wolf shares a hot-blooded, heavy-melancholic club banger
Friday, October 4, 2024 – Ahead of his fourth album TASTE, Oscar and the Wolf – the project of Belgian artist Max Colombie – shares 'Spill My Liquor', a hot-blooded, heavy-melancholic club banger, or as Colombie put it, “a rave to forget’. TASTE, which features previous singles 'Warrior', 'Angel Face', 'Somebody Without U' and 'Oh Boy', will arrive on October 25th via Sony Music.
Over the past week, Colombie has been previewing snippets of 'Spill My Liquor' on his TikTok-account. It’s described as ‘the ultimate sad club banger’, dragging us into a fluorescent danger zone. It addresses the inherent vulnerability of daring to dance, how it can make you feel exposed, which can trigger heavy emotional responses. ”’Spill My Liquor’ is the essence of Oscar and the Wolf to me: being so drunk that you’re sad, and still dancing to forget. It’s dancing with a tear, and dancing to forget and moving to forget.”
With TASTE – out October 25th – Oscar and the Wolf enters a new chapter, one where he fearlessly courts the imperfections of the person beneath the spectacle, taking his craft into more autobiographical directions. This collection of songs stretches the project’s polarities between dark and light to new stratospheric lengths, a sweeping, cinematic chronology of a slow descent from euphoria to destruction. We chase Colombie from a radiant oceanside view into the bottomless abyss: there is drugs, there is alcohol, but ultimately, his heartbreak and addiction to love turned out to be the most dangerous drug of them all.
Since Oscar and the Wolf’s inception 10 years ago, Colombie has crafted a highly distinct blend of club music, cutting-edge pop and hot-blooded R&B. Spearheaded by his albums Entity (2014), Infinity (2017) and Shimmer (2021), the project flourished into a critically- acclaimed arena-selling tour de force It made the Belgian superstar a true rarity amongst his arena-selling peers: a magnetic and fluid performer who can somehow embody his most vulnerable and grandiose self within a single instant. On TASTE, Colombie is unafraid to attack a euphoric club track with heavy personal admissions – creating sharp contrasts that elevate both body and mind towards even greater thrills.
Oscar and the Wolf has recently announced a brand-new list of European dates for 2025, in addition to the various arena shows in Belgium and The Netherlands that were previously announced. Tickets sales start on Friday October 4, at 11 am CET. For the most recent information on live dates, visit https://oscarandthewolf.com/tour.
