“Это песня, которая умудряется быть одновременно меланхоличной и воодушевляющей. Запоминающаяся атмосфера демонстрирующая впечатляющий вокальный диапазон и эмоциональную глубину -OLI-. Мелодия Indie Electronic погружают в задумчивую атмосферу, которая создаёт основу для пробуждающихся воспоминаний. Особенно впечатляет припев, в котором певица представляет мощный и запоминающийся хук.”

“This is a song that manages to be simultaneously melancholy and inspiring. A memorable atmosphere demonstrating an impressive vocal range and emotional depth -oli-. The Indie Electronic melody is immersed in a thoughtful atmosphere, which creates the basis for awakening memories. The chorus in which the singer represents a powerful and memorable hook is especially impressive.” *

“Αυτό είναι ένα τραγούδι που καταφέρνει να είναι ταυτόχρονα μελαγχολική και εμπνευσμένη. Μια αξέχαστη ατμόσφαιρα που επιδεικνύει μια εντυπωσιακή φωνητική γκάμα και συναισθηματικό βάθος -. Η indie ηλεκτρονική μελωδία βυθίζεται σε μια στοχαστική ατμόσφαιρα, η οποία δημιουργεί τη βάση για τις αναμνήσεις αφύπνισης. Η χορωδία στην οποία ο τραγουδιστής αντιπροσωπεύει ένα ισχυρό και αξέχαστο γάντζο είναι ιδιαίτερα εντυπωσιακό.” *

OLI
Interview

Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

OLI:
Alternative Pop is definitely the best way to describe it. Synth, strings and I’m also a big fan of adding jazz elements.

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

OLI:
To be honest, ever since I was a child I just knew that this was what I was the only thing I would never stop doing . I’m lucky, my family is extremely musical and I was always encouraged to take up an instrument and perform.
In 2014 I started working with producer Benny D (Stormzy, Boy George, Kylie, Plan B, Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith). I just really love his musical taste and we’ve been a team ever since.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

OLI:
It would have to be anything ‘Sade’. The whole moody/bedroom pop female vocal that is used so much now a days just makes me think of her. I used to listen to the Diamond Life album every night to help me sleep (early 2000’s) and compared to the crazy pop I was hearing at the time, it just felt so soothing and comforting. Thank stuck with me and made me want to add jazzier elements.

Nagamag:
How did your song with Dave Gahan come to be?

OLI:
It was actually very simple and quick - the song wasn’t finished from their session and needed writing. I thought the backing track was really old Americana and melancholy – which I loved. When I put down the guides for the lyrics we then realised my voice was actually a great mix on the track with his.

Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

OLI:
Stereophonics "Dakota"

Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

OLI:
Ella M "Myself"

OLI – What Happened to You?
(Video)

“”What Happened to You? ” by “OLI” at Ben Addiction Music, is a soulful alternative pop, filled with melancholic tones through a minimal music layering, enriched with her warm vocals. A beautiful pop chill!”

-Nagamag.com

London based singer/songwriter OLI returns with her powerful, synth-scaping, new single “What Happened to You?”

Tapping into the deep feeling of being betrayed by a friend, ‘What Happened to You?’ examines an often overlooked type of relationship breakdown. With a hard hitting chorus, full of sparse yet pounding bass tones and soundscaping layers of synths, piano and vocals, it’s a song that oozes catharsis at every moment.

Speaking of the new single, OLI said: “I really wanted to do a song about a friend and not a partner. I just feel like betrayal can be so much deeper with a friend and really shatter you. Sadly, I think a lot of people have been through this and you really do find yourself asking what happened to you?? Maybe you won’t cry yourself to sleep every night but It’s a different kind of sadness.”

Moving to London from New Jersey aged 2, and growing up in a household filled with music, OLI soaked up influences as diverse as Sade and Dion Warwick to bands like Stereophonics, Supergrass, Razorlight, as well as Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd. With such a contrasting collection of music to grow up on, it’s easy to see why her own sound is so idiosyncratic.

A connection via London’s musical circles led her to working with hit-making producer Benny D (Stormzy, Boy George, Kylie, Plan B, Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith). The pair have been working on an EP of new music which is ready to release in the new year and will include a track featuring Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan. OLI has also featured as a backing vocalist for Boy George on many occasions including Lee Cooper’s 2019 advert.
