Friday, December 15, 2023 – Jagwar Twin, the alternative-rock sensation, has officially unwrapped a sonic Golden Ticket with his latest single, “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa).” With candy-coated harmonies and whimsical instrumentals, the latest track epitomizes Jagwar Twin‘s distinctive musical prowess that effortlessly balances nostalgia and fresh innovation. Stream the new track HERE.

To coincide with the release of Paul King’s “Wonka,” “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” features an interpolation of “Oompa Loompa,” marking a rare approval from the original film’s composers. Delving into the world of Willy Wonka, Jagwar Twin brings a new life to the classic “Oompa Loompa” chorus, while also modernizing it. Co-written by Sean Van Vleet (All Time Low, PVRIS) and Ryan Daly (Dove Cameron, John Legend), “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)“, exemplifies the magic of modern visionaries reimagining the timeless charm of musical classics.

Speaking on today’s single release, Jagwar Twin shares:

“Every one of us holds a golden ticket in our hand, but our ability to receive the keys to the kingdom relies on our ability to trust ourselves and to tell the truth. “Bad Feeling” is a chocolate covered reminder to trust your gut.”

The new track is similar in style to his recent release, “Good Time (1:08)”, which is currently Top 20 at Mexico radio, and stand out track “Happy Face.” With 385+ million catalog streams and 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Jagwar Twin stands out as a dynamic force challenging the status quo of the alternative music scene. His genre-defying artistry has captivated audiences through the blend of rhythmic accordion hooks, melodic children’s choirs, and gritty breakbeats, accompanied by profoundly introspective, almost cryptic lyrics.

Jagwar Twin‘s previous album, 33, channeled the magnetic showmanship of Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie and Bad-era Michael Jackson, all while unapologetically embracing authenticity and vulnerability. Fueled by chart-toppers like “It’s Your Time,” “I Like To Party,” “Down To You,” and “Happy Face,” Jagwar Twin serves as a powerful catalyst. His style urges listeners to embrace their true selves, recognize their self-worth, and place trust in their individuality.
