With her latest single “Ex’s,” Olivia Penalva continues to show why she is Canada’s latest pop sensation. Since releasing her debut single at the age of 13, the British Columbia native has steadily grown into an all-around artist and a genuine force within the global pop scene over the past decade.
For proof, just look to her October 2020 single “Love Me,” a certified radio hit that racked up over 38 million TikTok views, on top of over 7 millions YouTube views. She is owner of Isabelle Music Group and has recently signed to Decoded Music Group/Virgin Music. Olivia is poised to top that with “Ex’s,” as its sultry R&B vibes further display her artistic evolution. Having had the record mixed by Josh Gudwin (Justin Bieber) you are in for a real treat!
Olivia has never had a problem revealing herself through her music, whether that’s meant showing off her confidence and sense of humour, or exposing her vulnerability and insecurity. Having co-written with the likes of Ryan Stewart and Tavish Crowe (Carly Rae Jepsen), Nolan Sipe, Brian Howes and Emily Shackleton, Olivia is telling her story through song in more authentic ways than she ever has.
Known as well to viewers of American Idol and America’s Got Talent for her covers of songs featured on each show, Olivia is not holding anything back on her new original material, and hopes the music will inspire and empower listeners everywhere. All of those elements are present on “Ex’s,” another preview of Olivia’s 12 song album that promises to showcase all aspects of her creativity.
