Oliver Cronin Returns With New Single 'Eyes Wide Shut'
Breakout Australian pop artist Oliver Cronin returns today with the first taste of new music in over a year with 'Eyes Wide Shut' via Warner Music Australia. Listen HERE. Excitingly beginning a new era, this song delivers a pulsating pop sound mixed with Oliver's signature smooth vocals, creating an inescapable melody that will immediately get stuck in your head.
"Being the first single off my next project 'Eyes Wide Shut' represents a shift to a more organic, authentic and vulnerable sound. Over the last 12 months I've been exploring and blurring the lines of pop and RNB, and this song is the perfect way to introduce this next sound. Lyrically this next era is a bit of a shift to a more personal tone, focused around love and growth. With that being said we wanted 'Eyes Wide Shut' to kind of serve as an "anti cheating" anthem." says Oliver.
Amassing over 47.6 million combined streams, 1.1M TikTok followers, and 398K 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.
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.
