OSCAR & THE WOLF – TASTE (Alt/Pop – Belgium)

Belgian act Oscar and The Wolf (aka Max Colombie) surprised his legions of fans back in October 2024 with the release of his fourth studio album, Taste. The new record explores Colombie’s quest for vulnerability, through 12 songs that stretch the project’s polarities between dark and light to new stratospheric heights. It’s a sweeping, cinematic chronology of a slow descent from euphoria to destruction.

Colombie explains: “People always needed to see that I’m larger than life. People needed to see me as if I’m invincible. People needed to see the luxury. The real boy beneath was not happy with the luxury. The real boy was having a hard time, and luxury didn’t make me happy. What makes me happy is love and safety. Up till now, that search was counterbalanced because I tend to be an obstacle to myself. (…) So “TASTE” has become very much a therapeutic album for me.”

Since Oscar and the Wolf’s inception, Colombie has crafted a highly distinct blend of club music, cutting-edge pop and hot-blooded R&B. Spearheaded by his albums Entity (2014), Infinity (2017) and The Shimmer (2021), the project flourished into a critically- acclaimed arena-selling tour de force.
