This next feature is a new sound for me, but one of the most soothing pieces I've found lately. If you love classic piano music, you'll love the work of Grammy Award-winning artist Olovson and his new single "Epilogue".
Jacob Olofsson is the man behind the production for industry mammoths such as Frank Ocean, Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson, and is also known for being one half of the production duo Jarami. As he embarks on a new journey, his new style draws references from nostalgic, romantic classical pieces blended with Swedish folk melodies to the free and improvised moments of jazz.
"Epilogue" reminded me of the music of Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and it goes out to anyone who needs to press a pause for a few minutes.
Speaking of the single, the Swedish artist shares, “This is a homage to my grandparents and the ones before them. But also to the stillness and beauty in nature when the snow falls. It brings light to an otherwise dark period, and it also brings stillness and calm. The sounds disappear and the only thing left is the sound of your own footsteps moving forward to something new, the unknown.”
The single is taken from his upcoming album, slated for release in early 2022 via his own imprint 1136 Diamond.
