Oliver Cronin Unveils New EP 'Lost On The Way To Paradise'
Today Australian one-to-watch Oliver Cronin unveils his brand new EP Lost On The Way To Paradise via Warner Music Australia. Listen HERE. The seven track collection hears Oliver Cronin at the most honest and vulnerable version of himself. Sonically placed in a pop and RNB soundscape, he's continually pushing himself while holding onto the musical roots that have shaped his artistry.
Led by the recent singles 'Closure', '7500 Miles', and 'Eyes Wide Shut', Lost On The Way To Paradise is joined today by the autobiographical opener 'My Story (intro)', the romantic feel-good "I Feel You", the stripped back "Poor Mallory", and the RNB smooth stylings of '25/8'.
Of the new EP Oliver says, "When I first got into music my dream was always to release an album. For me, that is "paradise". As my career has progressed and I continue to grow as an artist, the idea of paradise and my debut album has shifted, I found myself questioning if maybe paradise doesn't exist? Maybe the process is what makes it worth it. This body of work is made up of the songs that came to life during this transitional stage of my career. I lost myself searching for something that maybe never existed, and then I found myself again through the music. This is me at my most vulnerable. This is me telling my story in a way I've never told it before. ".
Amassing over 47.6 million combined streams, 1.1M TikTok followers, and 413K Instagram followers, Oliver Cronin has cemented himself as one of Australia's brightest emerging talents. Opening for artists like Nessa Barrett (AU 2023) and Natalie Jane (AU + EU 2025), he's also done headline shows in Australia and India, and performed at events like Australian Open, GQ Men Of The Year, Nova's Red Room with Daniel Seavey, Youtube Music Nights Hong Kong and SXSW Sydney. Earlier this year Oliver made his debut on the catwalk for Australian Fashion Week where he walked in Christian Kimber's show.
2022 saw Oliver release his debut EP Beautiful Nightmare which featured 'Boys Don't Cry', a standout moment that has amassed over 12 million streams after it resonated with audiences on TikTok. In 2024 he partnered with Warner Records globally, working with the team that has propelled artists like Teddy Swims, Benson Boone, and Zach Bryan to stardom. He cemented that with the release of his EP Halfway To Paradise which heralded the singles 'Girl Next Door' with Charley, 'Burning House', and 'Hello Goodbye'. He added to it at the start of 2025 with the deluxe edition Edge Of Paradise featuring 'Maria' with Filipino band Lola Amour. Embracing collaboration, Oliver featured on Connor Price's viral track 'RUBY', Canadian rising star Lum's 'Temptation', and collaborated with Joel Fletcher on 'Her', and Topic on '1,2,3'.
Receiving a nomination for "Best New Artist" at the 2024 Shure Rolling Stone Awards, Oliver has also received press love from GQ Australia, The Daily Telegraph, Sunrise, Today Show, The Project, Nova's Red Room, Rolling Stone Australia, Marie Claire, New York Post, 10 Magazine, Acclaim, WHO, and more.
