She first caught the attention of many with her standout 2018 single “Smother Me” but 23-year-old singer/songwriter Olivia Nelson is back for 2019! With the later following EP For You a great success, she presents her first release since with new single “No Answer“.
The track is the first to be shared from her forthcoming Back To You EP – an independent release this summer. “No Answer” takes Olivia’s knack for narrative storytelling and combines it with inventive, future-leaning production. The trap soul-esque vibe is something fresh for the London singer but she leaves her mark with her true-to-her-roots, rich R&B vocal arrangements.
Speaking on her new single, Olivia explains: “‘No Answer’ is about when you’re trying to get ahold of someone and they’re purposely ignoring your call to play games, so you start to do the same to them.”
Raised on an eclectic diet of contemporary soul and Motown classics, Olivia’s appreciation for vocal proficiency lead her to pursue singing from a young age. Bursting properly onto the scene in 2017, she’s had numerous tastemakers giving her the nod including Radio 1 and 1Xtra, Notion, Push and Complex
Now seeking collaborations with boundary-pushing writers and producers, Olivia’s forthcoming EP promises to blend her formative influences with modern twists, soulful vocals and contemporary production feels.
#Peace.Love.OliviaNelson
