““UNTANGLE” features deep sub-bass, subtle footsteps, and Olovson’s intimate falsetto, evolving like a meditation of emotional contrasts—grief and release.”

KALTBLUT Magazine

Following the success of his debut album Storytelling, Swedish-born, LA-based composer and producer Olovson has returned with a powerful new statement: ‘UNTANGLE’, the title track from his forthcoming album, released on October 24th via his own imprint, 1136 Diamond. The first single released off the album, ‘THINGS I COULD’VE LEFT BEHIND’, already received support from the esteemed NPR Music, KCRW and KEXP 90.3 FM.

Known for his emotive piano compositions and Grammy-winning productions for artists like Frank Ocean, Dua Lipa, and Mark Ronson, Olovson now opens a more personal chapter — with his own voice at the center for the first time.

‘UNTANGLE’ is restrained yet resonant — a piece driven by deep, pulsating sub-bass, the quiet rhythm of footsteps, and Olovson’s delicate, intimate and effortless falsetto. The track unfolds like a meditation, filled with emotional contrast — shadow and light, grief and release.

“This song is about untangling the emotions and patterns you carry — and realizing you’re allowed to let go — and coming out on the other side feeling more at peace,” says Olovson.

The video for ‘UNTANGLE’ premiered on acclaimed publication KALTBLUT Magazine. Additionally, this is the second single following his 2022 debut album Storytelling, which gathered 3 million streams across platforms, and received praise from Rolling Stone India, Wonderland Magazine, CLASH, PopMatters, BBC Radio 6, NTS, and more. His track ‘Books Are Flying’ was featured in the SHOWTIME series The Man Who Fell to Earth, while the visual for ‘Gyroscope’ was nominated at multiple BAFTA-qualifying film festivals including Encounters, London Short Film Festival, and LIFA.

With ‘UNTANGLE’, Olovson expands his sonic palette — introducing a bold vocal presence while preserving the cinematic sensitivity that defines his sound. Fans of James Blake, Sampha, and Blood Orange will feel at home in this evolving space — where raw emotion and precise production quietly collide. The result is a track that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable: the quiet sound of transformation.

 

“Jacob Olofsson has made his name under the alias Olovson, composing engrossing, emotional and encapsulating pieces of art that have elevated him into the highest echelon of instrumentalists and writers.”
