Hunter Oliveri releases new single “Stranger”
Hunter Oliveri, the young musical sensation has released his latest creation today: the mesmerizing single “Stranger” via Spinefarm.
In his own words, Oliveri describes “Stranger” as a reflection on the subtle yet profound shifts that can occur in relationships, often without our immediate awareness:
“It's about the realization that while I thought I was in the happiest relationship, I was unknowingly drifting away from those closest to me," he explains. "It's almost a message to the people who cared about me the most – acknowledging that I've been a stranger to them.”
Accompanying this introspective track is a visually trippy music video that perfectly complements the song's themes. You can watch the video here.
Following the success of his debut single “Dumb”, and the subsequent release of “Spiraling Out,” “Stranger” marks yet another milestone in Oliveri's burgeoning career.
Oliveri's music channels the raw energy and introspective lyricism of iconic figures like Chris Cornell, Billy Corgan, and Kurt Cobain. His songs resonate with the messy complexities of youth, capturing the highs and lows of growing up in a world that often feels disconnected.
Born and raised in Paso Robles, CA, Oliveri's upbringing was shaped by a mix of suburban monotony and underground creativity. Drawing inspiration from his surroundings, he crafts songs that offer a glimpse into his world – a world filled with youthful angst, rebellion, and a longing for connection.
For Oliveri, music is more than just a creative outlet; it's a means of forging meaningful connections with others:
"I want people to feel something when they listen to my music, I want to be a friend and an outlet for them."
As “Stranger” makes its debut, Oliveri invites listeners to delve into his world, to experience the emotional depth of his music, and to join him on his journey of self-discovery.
