Oli Barton’s new single ‘Day And Night’ bursts onto the pop scene in a blaze of nostalgic sound and subtle swagger. With its sharp guitar riffs, shimmering synths, and infectious drum beats, the track radiates a captivating energy that’s impossible to ignore. Oli’s vocals glide effortlessly atop the buoyant instrumentation. It’s a playful yet polished anthem that marries modern indie-pop with timeless storytelling.

There’s a joyous chaos in ‘Day And Night’ that captures the thrilling highs and absurdities of love. The cheeky narrative, centered on a self-assured yet romantically tongue-tied protagonist, feels both relatable and cinematic. Like a rom-com set to music, the song dances between vulnerability and bravado, underscored by an effervescent melody that sticks like sunshine after rain. Produced by Alex O’Donovan, the track’s seamless blend of anthemic hooks and organic spontaneity is a vibrant celebration of life’s beautiful messiness. Pop music rarely feels this alive.

“The lyrics are based on a character that obviously thinks the world of himself but is completely unable to say something romantic to the person he loves; inevitably recalling endless platitudes and cliches. It’s my cheesy love song and something I totally refuse to apologise for. We were actually set up to record a different track at the studio and in between takes, as I tend to do, I was just doodling on my acoustic and I came up with the riff. Whilst everyone was getting prepared to record this other track, I’d written the verses for Day & Night in about 10-15 minutes… It was all done so quickly and organically but that’s the beauty of it.”
