With 2025 promising to be a massive year for breakout Australian pop
artist OLIVER CRONIN, he has today shared the deluxe edition of his EP
‘HALFWAY TO PARADISE’, poignantly titled ‘Edge Of PARADISE’
via Warner Music Australia. This follows an Australian tour earlier
this month with American pop star Natalie Jane, who he will be joining
again on tour in March throughout Europe, and a performance at the
Australian Open in Melbourne which was broadcasted on Stan.‘Maria’
hears Oliver teaming up with Filipino band Lola Amour for a classic
sounding boyband ballad that then kicks in with a big saxophone solo.
While ‘Room For Two’ is an electric dark-pop song that quickly
became a fan favourite in his live set earlier this month. These songs
join the already released seven track collection which was heralded by
the singles ‘Girl Next Door’ with Charley, ‘Burning House’,
and ‘Hello Goodbye’.
With over 39.1 million combined streams, 1M TikTok followers, 412K
Instagram followers, and 500K monthly listeners on Spotify alone,
it’s safe to say that Oliver Cronin has all ears turned towards him
right now. Receiving a nomination for “Best New Artist” at the
2024 Shure Rolling Stone Awards, he’s also had press love from GQ
Australia, The Daily Telegraph, Sunrise, The Project, Nova’s Red
Room, Rolling Stone Australia, Marie Claire, New York Post, 10
Magazine, Acclaim, and more.
2024 was notably a whirlwind year for Oliver with his sold out debut
headline tour, performing at GQ Men Of The Year, YouTube Music Nights
in Hong Kong, and rounding out the year performing a headline show in
India. He spent a lot of the year travelling and performing with
showcases and promo tours in America, Canada, Germany, Malaysia,
Singapore and Hong Kong. The year was heightened by partnering with
Warner Records globally, working with the team that has propelled
artists like Teddy Swims, Benson Boone, and Zach Bryan to stardom.
2023 cemented his one-to-watch status with multiple viral successes
with his TikTok remixes and livestreams. Interpretations of songs like
‘Paint The Town Red’ by Doja Cat, ‘Escapism’ by RAYE, and
‘3:15 (Breathe)’ by Russ introduced him to a whole new audience,
while his livestreams have seen him creating new music and candidly
showing viewers his creative process. He shared a couple of singles
including the hypnotic ‘Speed Bump’ and the tropical-pop
collaboration ‘I Need You’ with Lil Xxel which highlighted a
well-crafted sound and an excitement to experiment. He featured on
Connor Price’s viral track ‘RUBY’, Canadian rising star Lum’s
‘Temptation’, and collaborated with Joel Fletcher on ‘Her’,
and Topic on ‘1,2,3’. On the touring front he opened for Nessa
Barrett on her sold out Australian tour and performed at SXSW Sydney.
2022 saw him release his debut EP ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ which
featured ‘Boys Don’t Cry’, a standout moment that has amassed
over 10 million streams after it resonated with audiences on TikTok.
In the process, it reached numerous corners of the globe hitting
Spotify’s Viral Charts in Germany (#9), Czech Republic (#20), and
Austria (#54), and most recently had a resurgence in 2024 with it
climbing to #27 on the Spotify Viral Chart in Nigeria, and #8 on the
Shazam Chart in India, as well as climbing the Shazam charts across
Africa.
