OLIVIA BROADFIELD's sophomore album, This Beautiful War was released November 22, on her own Cherry Bang Records. Broadfield's electro-indie-pop songs are sync-magnets – having racked up over 50 TV placements with her 2009 debut album, Eyes Wide Open (Vagrant/Cherry Bang) that peaked at #3 on the iTunes charts. Olivia is back with a new collection of 10 poignantly personal and effortlessly catchy songs all written and recorded in her home studio in the middle of the English countryside. The album was co-produced by Josh Crocker with the heart of the album being Olivia and her piano. [...]

When a song has been played 500,000 times on MySpace and has already been featured on MTV's The Hills, it's not much of a revelation to say Olivia Broadfield is going to be the Next Big Thing. But it is still early days for the UK singer-songwriter with the charmingly thick accent and huge crush on Imogen Heap . Admittedly, her soft electro-pop sound is not the most innovative — it falls firmly into the whole Frou Frou / Dido / Beth Orton camp. But "Don't Cry" is an undeniable gem of a song. Half [...]

(photo by Andrew Robert Fox) As the first female artist ever signed to independent label Vagrant Records , UK-based electronic singer/songwriter Olivia Broadfield is stepping out in front of the boys' club with the release of her debut disc, Eyes Wide Open , on July 14. The album, an array of beautifully harmonized and arranged musings on love, loss and all that goes in between, Broadfield's least attentive listeners will pick up only on her influences (cf. Imogen Heap , Feist) but those that in fact dig deeper will fully realize the sense [...]
For Brit singer/songwriter Olivia Broadfield a stylistic move from guitar-strummings to lush keyboard synths came in 2002 when she first heard the debut album from the Imogen Heap/Guy Sigsworth collaboration Frou Frou. "It was so different, and I found it really inspiring," says Broadfield. "I fell in love with the warmth of electronica." Normally the terms "warm" and "electronica" might strike us as being diametrically opposed but in the hands of this 28-year-old performer the results found in her July 14 debut album Eyes Wide Open have a noticeable richness [...]

photo: Andrew Robert Fox The laptop is a godsend for singer-songwriters on a shoe-string budget. "Programming" is commonly listed along the usual suspects of keys, guitars and vocals. Olivia Broadfield made good use of all these skills on her Eyes Wide Open album. She got a producer named Jos Crocker how knows his way around percussion programming and bass. Her songs may remind you of Lykki Li and Heather Nova with her vocals laying down a flowing melody that goes well with all the little beeps, [...]

Kara!

Alright, today I'll cut straight to the cheese with a few of my favorites and whatnot. I've been a bit late to climb on the boat but Tilly & The Wall, Tegan & Sara, Metric are absolutely amazing. I've been realizing that the amount of female singers in the indie/alternative scene has been climbing over the past year or so, and the amount of talented ones has doubled. So I decided to feature a few of the ones that I've observed for a while for you guys to listen to. Remember, the [...]
