Oliver Sim is back with new single “Obsession”, the track is The xx member’s first new music since his debut solo album Hideous Bastard., which dropped in 2022. Produced by Bullion and Taylor Skye and recorded between London and Los Angeles, the track is a new era of experimentation, collaboration. Hideous Bastard explored themes of shame, fear, and masculinity with radical honesty, “Obsession” provides a stylish counterpoint: chic, irreverent, and playful.

“Obsession” tells a tale of infatuation and lust. The track is accompanied by a striking music video directed by lauded photographer and filmmaker Sharna Osborne, starring Sim alongside British fashion icon Erin O’Connor.

The track is Sim’s first ever release not produced by his longtime best friend, collaborator and bandmate Jamie xx. However, the bond between The xx remains as strong as ever: the trio are currently at work on their highly-anticipated fourth album and recently reunited on stage at Jamie’s LIDO festival in London.

Beyond music, Sim continues to expand his creative world. Recently, he was invited by Jonathan Anderson to star in the rebooted JW Anderson “Resort” lookbook, appearing alongside Saltburn actress Alison Oliver, director Luca Guadagnino, actors Joe Alwyn and Ben Whishaw, stylist Danielle Goldberg, fashion designer Bella Freud, and photographer Gray Sorrenti.
