Oscar and the Wolf - Livestream

Oscar and the Wolf, the indie-pop star alter ego of Max Colombie, shares his brand new single “Livestream” today. Zane Lowe Apple Music 1 show made “Livestream” their World First premiere, saying “sounds like water dripping from flowers, sounding like diamonds.” With the third track to be released from his long awaited third album The Shimmer (due 22nd October on [PIAS] Recordings), Colombie throws us another curveball. Sounding more relaxed and confident than ever before, the Belgian singer serves us the perfect soundtrack to the dripping Indian summer we all crave. “I’m your die hard crazy, I’m your nightlife superstar” he reveals compellingly, “I’m your forever seventeen And I’m the siren in your heart I wanna be there when you need it I come alive when you call me yours.” The song then takes a turn for the sensual with shimmering guitars and light and almost cheerful synths leading into a longing chorus.

Livestream deals with longing for you loved ones, wanting to be close to them. “I’m several months away on tour and away from my love”, Colombie muses, “Waiting to be rejoined, longing to live together, past the city, by the river and over the mountain. I only remember him from times before the wilderness. He can always remember me by watching me on livestreams. Knowing he’s behind that computer screen, is when feel him right next to me.”
