British singer Beren Olivia draws inspiration from iconic artists like Pink, Christina Aguilera, and Avril Lavigne to create her poignant heartbreak anthems. Her musical journey began at 13 when she taught herself to play the guitar, setting the stage for her evolution into a versatile singer-songwriter. With an uptempo pop sound that seamlessly blends elements of folk, R&B, and electropop, Olivia’s music resonates with a diverse audience. Since releasing her debut single “History” in 2020, she has continued to captivate listeners with tracks like “Wake Up,” “Is That What You’re Like Now,” and “Read My Mind.” In her latest single, “Almost,” Olivia explores the theme of fear of commitment, delving into the complexities of love with heartfelt sincerity.
“Almost” offers a poignant portrayal of self-sabotage that resonates deeply with listeners. The track follows Olivia as she navigates another relationship, grappling internally with her struggle to embrace love fully. Despite her partner’s efforts, Olivia withdraws, leading to another broken heart. With its stripped-down, mid-tempo emotional pop sound, the song perfectly captures the painful journey of letting go of someone because of one’s own insecurities and fears.
