"Oblivion" is a song by French electronic music band M83 featuring lead vocals from Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør. It was released as part of the film soundtrack album Oblivion: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to accompany the film of the same name. It was composed by Anthony Gonzalez. The song peaked at number 114 in France.
"Oblivion" has been classified as a "soaring ballad"[1] that features "interstellar synths and cloud-surfing lead vocals" amidst a mixture of "M83's dream pop [and] more traditional string and horn arrangements."[2] Rolling Stone observed that the song is "capped with a jazzy instrumental section, just like M83's 2011 hit 'Midnight City'",[1] while it reminded Consequence of Sound of "Tangerine Dream's scores from the '80s".[2] Featuring Sundfør's "booming vocals," the song's choir repeats "In the night, you'll hear me calling" over a "bombastic synth swell."[3]
