Have you checked out Zanski and Emilia's latest yet? Stream 'Younger You' here!

September 04, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Contemporary R&B, R&B

Titled ‘Younger You’, the R&B track features the incredible Emilia on vocals and carries over a laidback and relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. The song has a very modern twist to it (which we love) but infuses a nostalgic feel throughout the instrumental track—something you’d expect from classic soul and R&B releases from over the decades.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song is about cycles, namely the cycles we go through as human beings, and how we tolerate them and work around them. From my perspective, it's about stepping outside of your own cycles and re-evaluating why you're where you are, and if you're really okay with your proposed trajectory. Lines like "thinkin’ bout sleeping on the couch while they're off in their own minds" is a concrete example, that, although somewhat literal, personally evokes some sort of mental removal from everyday scenes. It ties in a lot to mental health and connectivity to exterior unknowns” — Zanski

With or Without You, an album by Olive B on Spotify

ALBUM REVIEW: Olive B releases debut album 'With or Without You' [R&B/Pop]

June 06, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Electronic, R&B, Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Titled ‘With or Without You, the new album from Olive B features a total of 8 new songs. Influenced by the sounds of R&B and Pop, ‘With or Without You’ is produced exceptionally well—you can thank Bobby Love for that.

On our first listen, we were instantly hooked by Olive’s writing style and charm. The lyrics are beautifully written and the energy behind her performance radiates a positive and demanding energy. Whether it’s dance, pop, or R&B… Olive B infuses magic into everything she touches and will keep you coming back for more.

On our second listen, the details of the production started to come out and we were able to drift off to the many melodies and production elements present throughout the album. From reverb-drenched guitars, to luscious soundscapes, to punchy kicks and dark undertones… it’s a diverse project that can be enjoyed from start to finish and features a timeless experience you’ll enjoy for years to come.

On our third, fourth, and fifth listen… (I think you get the point).

In conclusion, ‘With or Without You’ is a 10/10 album and it exceeded all of our expectations. We recommend listening through the album from start to finish to get the full effect, but don’t worry, it’ll be the best 24 minutes you’ll spend all week.

Don’t forget to connect with Olive B online to stay up to date on any upcoming shows and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“The listener is taken on a journey through the stages of a relationship from beginning to end of the album. The first half is upbeat, fun and playful, and encapsulates being in love and getting to know someone intimately. Midway through the album, there is a shift in tone that represents the uncertainty of the future you have with that person. Towards the end is realizing it won’t last, the process of letting go, and saying goodbye for now. — Olive B
