Olly E's "After I'm Gone" is a long, deep breath that is raw, honest, and resonates. The Leicester-born artist is again unapologetic as he carves a path, this time in collaboration with Heather Mcdowall.
The track is a double-whammy of the tug and release of the male and female lead vocals, the power of alt-rock influences from Deftones to Limp Bizkit, and the feeling of peace eerily encapsulated by Sleep Token. "After I'm Gone" is an experience and an emotional excavation.
What sets this one apart is the production quality and the emotional conviction baked into each line and riff. The song throbs with urgency as a reminder to love harder, speak louder, and live more in the now.
Heather Mcdowall lends her presence to the track, offering an ethereal softness that does well to offset Olly's grounded intensity. Their chemistry is so searing that the duet feels more like the recollection of memory than the effort of performance.
This is not just another alternate track tossed into the streaming void. "After I'm Gone" is a testament, raw, uninhibited, and profoundly human. For lovers of nostalgic hints in modern-edge rock with a message, we present Olly E's newest. In a cacophony of sound, "After I'm Gone" is a moment of silence.
