Conor Kelly and Chase Bader, the dynamic musical duo beyond the magic of Oh Buddy!, have been unveiling their cinematic pop sound for just over a year. In that time, they’ve amassed hundreds of thousands of streams, beckoned a wide range of tastemaker praise and explored a range of joyful and melancholic themes through some incredible pop music.
As with nearly every Oh Buddy! track, the latest, ‘On and On’, sees the pair drop the listener into the energy immediately, rippling a feeling of joyful life in colour and banishing the grey. Synth twinkles lead into huge, momentous chords crossing the full spectrum of instrumentation.
The sense of disco glitter and a nostalgic haze remains at the centre as the vocals pull you in, a guiding light in an arrangement so busy with energy, letting the danceability slowly settle into your muscles. It’s a transformative single, bringing a bit of extra brightness with every new sonic firework. Oh Buddy!’s sense of vintage-tinge and modern production flair has made for another instant classic
“‘On and On’ represents a transitional moment for us as songwriters, reshaping what we thought was once possible with our music,” the pair explain. “It shattered the glass ceiling of our artistry and opened a door to a new level of creativity, ambition, and emotional honesty. More than that, it challenged us to tap into a deeper sense of vulnerability and realness with ourselves in a way we haven’t before. For us, On and On represents a chapter within a greater narrative where, at its heart, talks about the kind of love that feels infinite. The rush of headlights on wet pavement, the weight of a goodbye, the pull of something you can’t walk away from. It’s about surrendering to a moment, holding on as tight as you can, and never letting go.”
