In a world that often glosses over the nuances of human experience, Olivia Reid fearlessly delves into the complexities that define us. “TO BE NAMED BY THE PEOPLE” is a profound exploration of the multi-faceted nature of our feelings, where contrasting emotions coexist harmoniously.
The EP opens with “Runner’s High,” a sonic rollercoaster where exhaustion and adrenaline collide in a whirlwind of sound. Reid’s ethereal vocals and innovative production create an atmosphere that is both exhilarating and introspective.
“Wounds (Healing),” the EP’s second track, is a poignant meditation on pain and the transformative power of healing. Reid’s lyrics cut deep, touching the heart while her music soothes the soul.
“Central Park West” follows, a musical voyage through the juxtaposition of grief and joy. Reid’s ability to convey profound emotion through her music is nothing short of extraordinary.
