American singer-songwriter Olivia Reid has become a regular fixture on these pages, and for good reason.

In our opinion, this rising talent is behind some of the most beautiful indie releases to have come out of New York this year – and today’s unveiling of ‘Central Park West’ further proves this.

Written as a dedication to her late aunt and uncle (who lived in the area), the song presents listeners with a sparse yet thoughtfully constructed production that allows for Reid’s incredibly emotive vocals and heartfelt lyricism to shine through.

“This a song for anyone mourning the loss of someone or something, where the mix of joyful memories coexist with grief. They both battled heaviness, in health and hardship, and it’s been hard to let them go. But this song is my lasting memory of them, standing by the pond in Central Park, warm and smiling, always.”

Fans can catch Olivia playing Chicago’s Golden Dagger on the 11th June – tickets can be found here.

Acclaimed musician Olivia Reid is back today with a thoughtful new single that is sure to strike a chord with many listeners.

‘Wounds (Healing)’ offers us a frank insight into Reid’s struggles with anxiety. The song is powerfully moving, and looks at the contradicting feelings of wanting to rid your mind of negativity, while also wondering whether you’d lose a part of yourself in the process of doing so.

“I recognised how much I had to heal from, but simultaneously feared that truly healing it would leave an absence or a blankness in me. When I’m in fight or flight mode long enough, wounds in the form of anxiety or sadness can mistakenly feel like a crucial part of who I am. The wounds feel familiar, so starting the healing process made me feel so much weaker at first.” 

Reid’s music continues to captivate audiences across the world. To date, this artist has garnered more than fifty million streams and has seen her work celebrated by tastemakers as prominent as Wonderland, Flaunt, Ones to Watch and Brooklyn Vegan. Alongside her music, Reid is also involved with the EarthPercent charity – of which more details can be found here.

NY-based artist Olivia Reid unveils a stunning new single today, entitled ‘Runner’s High’.

Through its beautifully airy and elevated fusion of indie, electronica and pop, the introspective track tells of Reid’s ambitious nature and hunger for success.

“‘Runner’s High’ describes the way I’ve conditioned myself to be a workhorse. A product of growing up in America, I guess.”

‘Runner’s High’ marks a new step in Reid’s creative journey, and follows on from her 2021 debut EP, ‘Earth Water‘ (available here).

In recent years, Reid’s solo and collaborative work has grown in popularity, with the artist currently amassing more than 28 million streams on Spotify alone.
