Bitches These Days, am I right Olivia O'Brien? Hear her latest before she performs at Coachella
(Apr. 1, 2022 – New York, NY) Olivia O’Brien, the LA-based singer/songwriter with over 2 billion global artist streams, has released “Bitches These Days,” the brand-new single out today via Island Records. The song is an anthem about steering clear of untrustworthy, fake friendships, with an upbeat tempo and lyrics that embrace her honest and bold spirit. On making the track, O’Brien states: “The production and the melodies are inspired by 2000s pop, which was super fun to make since that kind of music raised me. I also love working with Tia, Maya, Ryan, and Jussi who I wrote the song.” The “Josslyn” singer is also gearing up for her two-weekend performance at Coachella next month, her first time performing at the festival.
“Bitches These Days” follows EPISODES, which was released in June 2021. The 6-track EP included the single + video "Sociopath," and co-starred several of Olivia’s friends including Anastasia Karanikolaou (aka @StassiBaby), Euphoria’s Zak Steiner, Quenlin Blackwell, and more.
EPISODES also contained the single + video "No More Friends" featuring Oli Sykes of Bring Me the Horizon, a wildly cathartic anti-love song that showed off Olivia’s affinity for pop-punk with its snarling guitar riffs and explosive choruses. In support of EPISODES, “The Olivia O’Brien Show” headlining summer-fall tour kicked off in July at Lollapalooza in Chicago. The 23-city tour, with stops at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, Bottle Rock festival in Napa, and New York City’s Webster Hall (two nights), wrapped up in Seattle over Thanksgiving.
