Ultraviolet by OLAN feat. Zeal

‘Ultraviolet’ is the third single from OLAN's debut album ‘Contra’, which is out June 10 on Anjunadeep.

A collaboration with Canadian producer Zeal, ‘Ultraviolet’ is a fast-paced, high-octane track infused with sounds of drum & bass, liquid, and future bass - a true depiction of OLAN’s versatile taste and production skill. On the track’s lyrics, OLAN explains “it’s about me talking to a "creator" of sorts - wondering if there's any point in trying to connect with it or finding definition and fulfilment in life. Can I revisit thoughts from my past without being ruined by them? Is it even worth the effort in the first place? Maybe not”.

The new single follows ‘Wake And Return’ and ‘Promise To Keep', and precedes OLAN's highly-anticipated debut album. Arriving June 10, ‘Contra’ explore themes of self-awareness and self-acceptance after her having years of uncertainty: “The album is about letting go of my need for control and definition, about living without knowing why, and re-learning how to enjoy my time alone with my own thoughts”.

Musically, OLAN cites Maribou State, Little Dragon, T.E.E.D and Bonobo as major influences. A skilled multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer, OLAN exhibits her eclectic inspirations and skillset in the album's variety of electronic styles, which include melodic house, breakbeat, downtempo, drum & bass, and elements of ambient and hip-hop.
