3. Hi guys!
Aaah I can’t believe I’ve been able to
release my first album! I’m so excited to
share this music with you!
This album comes out after I’ve turned
23, and it’s a collection of my feelings,
thoughts, and lessons I’ve learnt on the
way. This process has been a dream come
true, and it would never have happened
without you.
Thank you to each and every one of you
for supporting me and streaming my
music! I hope you enjoy listening to it as
much as I did making it.
Lots of love,
Olivia XOXO
