"It's the most personal I've ever been, but also the most confident."
Olympia's (real name Olivia Bartley) debut album Self Talk certainly gained a lot of attention and judging by her new single Hounds, album two will be no different.
Premiering on theMusic.com.au today, Hounds is the third single from the forthcoming album Flamingo, which is expected to drop on 5 July.
"The record explores how grief and desire are intertwined. It’s referencing a personal tragedy – the addiction and loss of someone very close to me," shares Bartley of the album.
"But it’s not a project of catharsis – I chose to submit myself to this experience because I wanted to create from inside it, rather than explaining it. I’ve tried to borrow from my own grief to create its inverse: something joyous. Something beyond myself, something fantastic -something new. It’s the most personal I’ve ever been, but also the most confident. This album is a force."
