Oli Barton‘s debut is the brightly shining alternative pop gem ‘It’s Over Now’, its fast paced and upbeat rhythm is an instant mood lifter and a great introduction to the artist and his determined sound.
“They say you shouldn’t dwell on the past, obviously no one told me that…” His solo debut makes perfectly clear that not only is he not done with the past, he’s also determined to dredge the whole miserable affair back up in the form of a hook-laden indie pop anthem. The anthemic chorus of ‘It’s Over Now’ plays on a similar sound to The Vaccines and The Kooks and brings a refreshing youthfulness to the scene.
Oli combines impressive poetic lyrics with a tongue in cheek approach to pop music and brings a light-heartedness to heavy-hearted topics. The indie guitar artist is due a successful and thriving career filled with fast paced and groovy alternative pop tracks. This is the sound of the cheeky provocateur, the observant wallflower and the hopeless romantic wallflower all rolled into one. That’s the sound of Oli Barton.
