OLI Shares Debut Single ‘Happy’
Londoner 23-year-old singer and songwriter OLI makes her musical premiere with the release of her gorgeous debut single Happy, a dreamy piece of alt-pop music.
I am really enjoying how the song's blissful production and how her storytelling is quite relatable and has an overall positive outlook on things. Happy is an ode to the unhappy, and an acknowledgement of the helplessness of those around them. This message is wrapped around a blissful pop production packed with dreamy vocal harmonies, a jazzy saxophone and ethereal soundscapes. Listening to this song I instantly get in a good mood and ready for a relaxing weekend! To accompany the release, OLI shared its dreamy music video, directed by Heini Susanne, which you can check out below!
Speaking about the song, OLI said,
I wrote it about a family member who was really stressed, and really overwhelmed, no matter what I said to them, it didn’t matter, they were in their own little world of anxiety. And all I could offer were words of encouragement but I knew I couldn’t do any more than that.
