Tiberius b’s “Olivia” is an acceptance of the self enveloped in weighty alt-pop

The moniker of singer and producer Frank Belcourt, Tiberius b retains pop sensibilities through esteemed songwriting. Coming to a head in their debut EP Stains, released last year, the six-track project showcased their breadth – from the sentimentality of “Big Deal” to the melodramatic reflection of “No Smoke”. Through and through, they deal in themes of gender, sexuality, isolation, and heartache, all the while being presented as bittersweet euphoria.

Raised amongst the greenery of a remote island in West Canada, Tiberius b relocated to their birthplace, London, in 2017 and their rise soon followed. After signing to Mark Ronson’s Zelig Records amid the pandemic, the shift in responsibility and new opportunity of collaboration resulted in a honed sound – uniting the synth and bass-heavy learnings of Ronson with their own power chords and harmonies.
