Abbie Ozard - 'Grown' Single Review


Abbie Ozard - 'Grown' Single Review

Abbie Ozard released new single 'Grown' today (30/11/21) accompanied by a video premiere this evening, on The Fader for the single. Known for her thoughtful, storytelling style 'Grown' incorporates samples from her family home videos and both starts and ends with these and a simple piano accompaniment. The track builds atmospherically after reflecting back and questioning a past relationship, as Abbie says "everything has changed......and I hope you're happy and your hearts still fine without me", and is possibly more reflective and melancholy in style than some of her previous tracks. What stands out are the emotionally beautiful vocals and the clever and effective pace of the song with the simple start, epic build and then return to the heartbreaking simplicity one again to conclude. This effectively makes you feel the song and the lyrics in full force!

Abbie said of the track "I wrote 'Grown' back in 2017, 4 years ago, when I was coming out of a rough patch, and it helped me see the light and accept that things change, people change-they grow, leave your life and meet new people, and that's totally ok. I used to, and probably still do, have a hard time accepting that people come in and out of your life. I couldn't comprehend that a person can be your best friend for years, and then suddenly become a total stranger-I found it really hard to get my head around. I hope it helps other people like it helped me, and I hope it helps you remember that you haven't met half the people you're going to love in your lifetime yet, because that to me is pretty cool and comforting. It's the most important song that I've ever written to me, and will likely stay with me forever."

With a feature on Radio 1's Future Artists with Jack Saunders last night and the announcement yesterday of a slot on next years Truck Festival line up, Abbie is having a great week so far!

Declan McKenna Zeros Tour

 Declan McKenna Zeros Tour J1, Cambridge Junction - 23rd August 2021 "Cambridge are the OG's... everyone in this room saw me busking in the street 5 years ago." Declan McKenna appreciatively told the sold out crowd on the first night of his Zeros Tour, kicking off in Cambridge last night. With the checkerboard stage set with glitter balls and confetti cannons, the atmosphere was electric! You better believe Declan was on top form wearing his glittery suit, and the set had everything that you could have asked for. This gig was a humongous deal for me as it marked my return to indoor gigs for the first time in 18 months, and I couldn't think of anyone better to do it with than Declan! He gave the crowd exactly what they wanted with a blistering start performing 'Beautiful Faces', 'Rapture' and 'Sagittarius A*' accompanied by the confetti cannons going off, making sure that the concert literally started with a bang!  Declan appeared to be full of ...

My Favourite Memories from Gigs

My Favourite Memories from Gigs (All of these photos and videos were taken by me and are my own personal videos) With the news that concerts may be returning from 21st of June, I got myself some tickets booked, in the hopes that I may get to do some gig reviews! This got me thinking back to all the concerts I've been to before, so I've decided to share some of my favourite memories and experiences from gigs! 1. Remington Leith Concerning the Health and Safety Officials! I went to see Palaye Royale at Shepherd's Bush O2 Empire on the 21st February 2020. It was the most exciting concert I've ever been to, and it ended with frontman Remington Leith climbing up onto the balcony and hanging upside down! I was lucky enough to meet the band at their pop-up shop the next day, and Remington told me his mum wasn't impressed with the danger he was putting himself in!  2. Awsten Knight's Superpower On the 1st of February 2020, I had VIP tickets to see Waterparks in the Elec...

Greysha - 'Gold Glaze' Single Review

  19 year old, Shropshire based singer/songwriter Greysha released 'Gold Glaze' on 20th October.  A beautiful and reflective song about looking back at key events in your life. Told from the perspective of growing up it touches on lots of subjects many teenagers will recognise in themselves, not wanting to be in class, rebellious piercings, also however the more serious and poignant subjects of family and looking back at happier times.  As a subscriber to her mailing list from back when I bought the CD of her previous single 'Aspirin' , Greysha said of 'Gold Glaze' on release "I have poured my soul and a little part of who I am into this" The inflection and emotion she puts into the vocals literally make you feel this is true. A track with layered harmonies and cinematic strings, you smile and you even sing along to the "Gold Glaze" part but you also feel Greysha's pain at times..."Tell the darkness to stay back another day"  Gr...
