Jul 13 2016 | OLIVIA HOLT TO RELEASE DEBUT EP, “OLIVIA”
July 13 2016 (Burbank, Ca) – Hollywood Records artist, Olivia Holt, is set to release her highly-anticipated debut EP, “OLIVIA” on Friday, July 15th. The five songs on the EP reflect her love for pop, but also her being “a total sucker for soul, country, rock, and alternative.” The release also marks the singer’s first foray into sharing her own experiences, rather than those of the characters she portrays. “I’m a storyteller,” she says. “And taking simple moments of my life and transforming them into something more tender and unforgettable on this EP has been so special.”
Track Listing:
- Phoenix
- Thin Air (ft. Jordan Fisher)
- In The Dark
- What You Love
- History
“Thin Air” will take listeners back to a time when they fell for someone — “when everyone notices a spark in you, because something about this person makes you smile a little bigger and laugh a little louder,” Holt says. On the flip side, “In The Dark” is about letting your guard down and being vulnerable with someone and not being afraid. “It’s definitely one of the more raw and emotional tunes on the EP,” Holt says. Anyone trying to get over someone but can’t even when a new love comes along will relate to “History.” “It’s not that the new person isn’t wonderful, but you have this undeniable past with the other person and you can’t shake it.” Finally, Holt describes “What You Love” as “where the fire started inside of me. This angry fire. A hurt fire that I wanted so desperately to put out, but knowing that even if I get a little burned, I learned something. That, ultimately, life just simply goes on.”
Also on the EP is Olivia’s first single, “Phoenix,” an empowering anthem that has already resonated with fans and critics alike. The music video, which was released on June 23rd, has already reached over 1.1 million views on YouTube. She describes the song as her everyday motto. “It reminds me to skip to the beat of my own drum,” she says. “It’s one of those songs that I listen to whenever I’m having the worst day ever, or whenever I feel like my self-esteem is a little low. The song’s message is one I want out there.”
2016 is certainly shaping up to be a busy year for this multi-talented artist who, along with the release of her music and live performances, also has two feature films slated starring alongside Renée Zellweger and Greg Kinnear in Same Kind of Different As Meand the indie comedy Class Rankdirected by Eric Stoltz. All upcoming show dates are below.
