Media praise for
Oliver Malcolm & "Switched Up":
"A sleek hybrid of rap and R&B" — FADER
"The drums lurch toward the offbeats, some looped guitar picking tugs against that pulse and Malcolm's voice is a rattled, quavery moan...Everything stays off-kilter for the two and a half paranoid minutes of "Switched Off" by
Oliver Malcolm" — New York Times, Playlist
"Oliver Malcolm's 'Switched Up' Is Intoxicating… new single 'Switched Up' is a mesh of influences, a confluence of sounds, a mosaic of techniques." - CLASH
Oliver Malcolm got his start early, teaching himself how to spin records at 12 years old. Shortly after, he downloaded
Logic and taught himself how to produce - working with IDK, Aluna George, Joey Bada$$, Jay Rock, Masego
Tinashe and more. Now twenty,
Oliver has developed his own voice. Touching everything from the production, vocals, songwriting, engineering, mixing and mastering, Oliver's sound is unique and does not fit the mold of one genre. A multidisciplinary at heart, this is just the beginning of music lovers can look forward to from the new artist.
