LIST PICK

TIBERIUS B OLIVIA

Canada-raised alt-pop artist Tiberius b is fast becoming one of our favourite acts. Affirming this with an addictive new single, 'Olivia' is honest and irrestitable. Stacked with satisfying vocal melodies, it's a track you'll want to sing along to from the first listen as perky breakbeats and serene synth sounds ooze with a sense of wanderlust. Lyrically, "‘Olivia’ chronicles a fallout I experienced with my family during a precarious time where I was clumsily exploring my queerness as I moved to London. This song was made in collaboration with Cecile Believe during a residency we did together in Spain in 2018. Cecile’s production guided me in the song to transform the fragility and mistrust I felt  towards myself and my surroundings into a sort of euphoric, resilient anthem.” Arriving alongside an aptly shadowy video directed Alice Schillaci, we can't recommend this release enough. -Holly Mullineaux
