Olivia Olson’s music has this nostalgic charm for me—she’s forever tied to that iconic 'Love Actually' performance, but she’s grown so much since then. I stumbled across her recent work while deep-diving into indie pop playlists, and turns out, she dropped a single called 'I’m Not Yours' last year. It’s got this moody, synth-heavy vibe that feels like a departure from her earlier stuff, but her vocals are still as crystal-clear as ever. She’s been low-key active on Bandcamp and Spotify, collaborating with smaller artists too. If you’re into that blend of wistful lyrics and retro electronica, her newer tracks are worth a listen—they’ve been on repeat during my late-night writing sessions.
What’s cool is how she balances music with her voice acting gigs (she’s Marceline in 'Adventure Time,' which is chef’s kiss). It’s like she’s weaving these two creative threads together, and her music subtly echoes Marceline’s melancholic edge. No full album yet, but the snippets she shares on Instagram suggest she’s experimenting with darker, more personal themes. Honestly, I’m just glad she’s still creating—artists who evolve without losing their essence are rare.
