Courageously raw songwriting leads the way as Oliver Keane returns with his latest track ‘3.5’. The new offering is a poignant listening experience, showcasing the 20-year-olds natural talent for crafting rich, stand-out sonic moments.

Whilst undeniable progress has been made in normalizing the mental health conversation, there is still essential work to be done. With young men affected more than any other demographic, artists such as Oliver being openly transparent is invaluable in furthering improvement.

Sharing more, Oliver explains: 3.5 is probably one of the most honest songs I've written. I wrote it at a time where I felt like my mental health was letting the people around me down. If I was out and started to get anxious after a drink, I was embarrassed by this. I think it’s amazing how much men’s mental health is being spoken about now, even amongst me and my friends, however I still think a lot of men feel ashamed to struggle or show signs of weakness.

With 2024 now in full swing, Oliver Keane has been making every second count.

With 3.5 the first single in a brand new chapter and a UK tour secured with indie greats ‘Sea Girls’ (dates below), Oliver Keane is your artist to watch this year.

3.5 is both written and produced by Oliver himself, shining a light on his talent for production.  From a young-age he has been evolving his technical skills and has also been writing and producing for other artists including Nieve Ella and Abby Roberts.

Derby-born Oliver Keane has been making a name for himself as an emerging singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer since he launched. In the run up to his debut EP ‘16mm Dream Sequence’, he had already scooped much praise from the likes of Complex UK, Clash, Fault, Wonderland, Variance magazine and more. Not only that but he has a loyal fan base that continues to thrive across the globe with over 1.2M likes of Tik Tok and 60K followers across his social media accounts.

With performing live a huge part of who he is, Oliver has been making his mark, touring the UK and Europe extensively with acts such as The Snuts, GAYLE, Only The Poets (22 dates across EU) The Academic and Giant Rooks as well as a string of European festivals.

Having grown up in a house full of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, Oliver’s sound was initially influenced by guitar music. He began learning to play the guitar himself at the tender age of 9 and it was quickly established that he had a special talent for making music, with a gift way beyond his years for writing lyrics. Later on Oliver took to more indie leaning bands such as Catfish and the Bottleman which influenced his sound further, bringing it closer to what you hear today. Sat on a wealth of impressive genre-bending indie/alt-pop, you won’t have to wait too long before Oliver Keane is a well known name.
