Precocious pop artist Olie Beckett has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity and musical development as they have wasted no time establishing their unique sound over the course of their young career. At just 15 years old, the Florida native has already made incredible strides in defining their artistic trajectory, releasing a steady stream of music over the past year and leaving little to be desired from their quickly growing fan base. As they gear up to step deeper into the limelight, they celebrate the release of their newest single, “Whiplash,” a punchy, upbeat anthem that speaks volumes to their interpretation of their time in music, as well as the Gen Z experience.
The piece begins with a series of heavily embellished synthetic cords that quickly establish the intense uptempo beat and puts listeners in a mood reflecting the world of their music. Beckett’s vocals appear soon after to begin the narrative with the opening line “Sounds so good I give ‘em all whiplash, and it doesn’t matter ‘cause we get around real fast” and we immediately understand the tonal direction of their work.
Catchy, memorable, and instrumentally driven while still remaining lyrically motivated, the track gives listeners an incredible sample of Beckett’s musical proclivities throughout the single. A compilation that exhudes confidence through the lyrics and a sense of refinement in its production values, we feel a sense of investment in the future of this musician. Having accomplished so much in such a short time, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be next to come from this young artist.
