C’est lundi, l’occasion pour beaucoup d’entamer un nouveau cycle, de se lancer dans la semaine d’un bon pied. Vous avez peut être besoin de nouvelles chansons. D’une parenthèse musicale pour vous accompagner et vous apporter la bonne énergie dans votre quête de changement. Nous avons une petite surprise pour vous, un moment de musique intitulé End of The World extrait du projet OLAN.
Fondé en 2015, OLAN est un projet alternatif de recherche et de développement axé sur l’introspection, la confrontation des croyances personnelles et l’appréciation de la réalité physique créée par la productrice et multi-instrumentiste Luzana Flores. C’est donc celui-ci qui nous livre une belle parenthèse musicale que nous vous invitons à découvrir au plus vite. Une production au niveau, un sens de la réalisation au dessus du lot, End of The World se savoure sans retenu. - IGGY Magazine
It pays off to have people send you music that is actually worth posting instead of the usual garbage that crowds my inbox. And real music at that, with true production and well-thought out chord progressions. With that being said, producer Levi Watson and songwriter Olan tap in for their marvelous new cut called “The Space Between Us”.
Olan has had her hand in some big tunes as well, coming off some recent work on Ari Lennox’s smash “Bussit”. Olan’s pen gifts the world some sultry vocals while painting a vivid picture of self-discovery and growth. Levi Watson provides some opulent, vivacious bass lines and a steady amount of pristine percussion to feed our much needed itch. In addition to the already stellar set of instrumentation, this song is mixed to showcase the top-tier musicianship. With an effort this unique, we can only imagine what these two have in store for the future. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to this greatness below. - Daily Chiefers
The incredibly unique production talents of Levi Watson and singer-songwriter Olan have come together to collaborate on a new single that highlights the sheer creative range of both of these individuals. The pair’s latest release, “The Space Between Us,” combines stellar vocals with complementary production and an edge that elevates the song beyond ordinary. Although Watson is known for his introspective abilities as a rapper the multifaceted artist plays the role of producer in his latest collaborative release. His galactic, airy and dream-like backdrop creates an incredible stage for a talented songwriter and singer such as Olan to step forward and swoon listeners with range and poise. Her presence is felt as well as heard as she chronicles the process of self-reflection and examination with the results of growth placed prominently at the forefront. Needless to say, this is a collaboration you do not want to miss out on. - Lyrical Lemonade

Bio
Originating in 2015, OLAN is an Indie Electronic project created by songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Luzana Flores. After years of experimenting and floating in between genres ranging from R&B to alternative rock, OLAN found comfort in returning to her early influences from the likes of Bonobo, Little Dragon, Maribou State, and SBTRKT--pushing herself into a more introspective domain as a songwriter and producer.
Since 2017 OLAN has made a name for herself as a versatile performer, landing herself performances at Mixmag Lab LA, EDC Las Vegas 2019, and direct support for the likes of Chromeo, Neon Indian, Telepopmusik, and more. After starting her own label label, securing her spot as a co-writer on Revenge of The Dreamers III with Ari Lennox, and consistent gigging throughout 2019, OLAN flew to LA to visit a long-time friend and influence Mat Zo, which eventually led to multiple collaborations and releasing her debut album 'Contra' on Anjunadeep in 2022.
As of 2023, OLAN has performed at many iconic venues including Red Rocks, Printworks, Avant Gartner, and released followup tracks on Odesza's imprint Foreign Family. She is currently on tour with QRTR to support them on their'The Last Goodbye' Tour alongside Bonobo, Tokimonsta, and Bob Moses. She is also set to release her first solo EP since her debut album in the fall of 2023.
