Singer Olivia Longott Unveils New Album “You Are” Dedicated To Her Late Mother
After making waves with her recent Afrobeat single “Solo,” Olivia Longott, renowned for her dynamic presence in the music industry, is set to captivate audiences once again with her new album, “You Are”. Released on August 30th, the date marks her late mother’s birthday. The album is a heartfelt tribute intertwined with vibrant musical energies.
Known for her distinctive blend of R&B, reggae, and now Afrobeat influences, Olivia shares that “You Are” is not just a collection of tracks but a profound journey through her experiences. “This album is a breath of fresh air,” she expresses, “It encapsulates my best work yet; a fusion of elements from my roots in reggae to the infectious rhythms of Afrobeat.” Olivia credits her collaboration with producers like Tony Kelly, a luminary in the reggae world, for enriching the album with diverse musical textures and emotional depth.
The “You Are” album is an enchanting mix of various genres, allowing listeners to enjoy music together. “I want humans of all ages – may they be children, teens, adults, or seniors – to be able to enjoy my music,” Olivia expresses. “Just want them to get up and dance, or, feel like wanting to hug each other and get emotional.” The album’s themes of love, resilience, and celebration promise to inspire listeners to rediscover the joy of music, fostering a sense of unity and enjoyment for all generations. The album’s title track, “You Are”, is a moving homage to her mother. Olivia confides, “This song is perhaps the most emotional piece I’ve ever recorded. It vividly paints the love and memories I hold dear, making it both cathartic and challenging to perform.” She hopes that sharing this deeply personal tribute will resonate with listeners who have also experienced loss, offering solace and connection through her music. Following the success of “Solo,” which received glowing reviews and left fans clamoring for more, Olivia is poised to continue making waves with her upcoming singles and subsequent album releases. “I am reconnecting with my passion and sharing that joy with others.” As Olivia’s “You Are” – a significant personal milestone – is now available, she is already planning future projects. “This is just a renaissance for me,” Olivia shares, hinting at ongoing collaborations and future albums in the works. With the follow up single, “Follow You,” set to debut soon with more to follow, Olivia’s journey in music promises to be both poignant and exhilarating, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide. |
