ArtistoftheWeek: Olivia Broadfield 4/9/10-4/16/10

I remember finding out about this artist on Nocturnal State on VH1, it was 3 in the morning and I was finishing up a project and her music video, "Silence" came on.
Silence by Olivia Broadfield

The sound attracted me to look up at the TV then the music video how it was done was really cool to me. Then she started singing.
I was blown away by how great her voice was. After listening to the song it reminded me of the time I found out about Imogen Heap with the video, "Goodnight & Go" at 3 in the morning in 2005.
[I stay up late a lot.]
So, luckily it was 2008 and I had great internet at the time to look her up. I found out more about her and her songs on the album, "Eyes Wide Open" and I ended up buying the album.
I knew I was going to love the album when I saw that Silence was the first track on the album, the song that pulls you into the this wonderful collection of late night love songs. But, wait! That's not all the album is about. Songs like, "The Weight" and "Crashing Down" are a little too upbeat to beat part of the late-night chill session this album portrays. Despite that, I really love this album.
With songs like, "Fool Today", "Indescribable" and "Silence", who wouldn't like the album?
Especially with a cool/strange music videos for the songs!
Don't Cry by Olivia Broadfield

Despite the feeling of the debut album, I love the demos, b-sides, and non-album tracks she makes. They're so good! Songs like, Probably Nothing[Video] & Fool Inside[Listen Only!] are catchy and great listen to late at night.

Along with some new songs this year for her upcoming 2nd album!
The new songs are, "Miss Me[Video]", "The Way That I'm Feeling[listen]", and "Old Friend[Video]". I can't wait for the next album. If it's a Sophmore Jump than a Sophmore Slump then I'm totally buying that album too.

I love listening to Olivia because her music and style kind of makes me think of Imogen Heap but the styles are not the same. Olivia is kind of like the daughter of Imogen Heap (musically).

I'm so glad that Olivia Broadfield is getting recognition in the US. I just wish that most of the TV Shows she plays on weren't crappy Mtv or CW shows. She's so much better than the shows she plays on.
