Oscar and the Wolf’s new project, TASTE, explores vulnerability through euphoric club tracks and exposed personal admissions.
Oscar and the Wolf, the stage name of Belgian artist Max Colombie, today released his highly anticipated fourth album, TASTE. Known for his ability to traverse the emotional spectrum, Max crafts an experience that merges euphoric club beats with deeply personal introspection. His debut LP, Entity, established him as a unique voice in the alt-pop landscape, and with TASTE, he dives even deeper into his complexities.
The album opens with ‘Pretty Little Thing’, a layered track that encapsulates the innocence of love while hinting at darker undertones. Colombie describes this opener as a glimpse into the naive bliss of morning after a night of passion, setting the tone for a sweeping exploration from joy to despair. Each subsequent track unveils the struggles beneath the surface, like ‘Oh Boy’, where Colombie confronts his inner demons with raw honesty.
Colombie showcases his artistic evolution throughout TASTE, revealing vulnerabilities that resonate with listeners. ‘Angel Face’, the lead single, reflects his personal battles while tapping into the cathartic power of pop. The album navigates themes of addiction and self-acceptance, ultimately serving as a therapeutic journey for the artist.
As Colombie shares, TASTE is not just an album; it’s a candid reflection of his life, revealing the scars that come with fame and the search for authenticity. With its rich sonic landscape and emotional depth, Taste promises to be an intimate and transformative experience for fans, inviting them to join him in the dance between light and darkness.
