Olovson, the Swedish producer settled in Los Angeles, dropped ‘UNTANGLE’ on October 24 via 1136 Diamond, pulling double duty as the lead single and title track from his upcoming album. It builds straight off ‘Things I Could’ve Left Behind’, which snagged airtime from NPR Music, KCRW, and KEXP 90.3 FM. The release caps a strong run from his 2022 debut Storytelling, good for three million streams and shoutouts in Rolling Stone India, Wonderland Magazine, CLASH, PopMatters, BBC Radio 6, and NTS. Throw in Grammy credits for beats on tracks by Frank Ocean, Dua Lipa, and Mark Ronson, a sync for ‘Books Are Flying’ in SHOWTIME‘s The Man Who Fell to Earth, and a festival nod for the ‘Gyroscope’ video at Encounters, London Short Film Festival, and LIFA—Olovson‘s stacking wins while finally putting his voice front and center.

Pared down but potent, ‘UNTANGLE’ runs on a deep sub-bass drive and soft percussive steps that draw you right into the mix. Olovson delivers his falsetto with a light touch—effortless and close—against shifts from brooding depths to the relief of letting go. The whole track holds steady, mixing personal weight with clean execution and delivery.

Olovson had this to say: “This song is about untangling the emotions and patterns you carry — and realizing you’re allowed to let go — and coming out on the other side feeling more at peace.”
