Reviews

‘The singer’s amazing voice references her influences, ranging from vintage jazz through to Erykah Badu. There’s a devoutly British sensibility here, too, placing Olympia Vitalis in that street soul lineage.’ Clash Magazine

‘There’s something enchanting about Olympia Vitalis. Perhaps it’s her voice, tinged by her West London upbringing and the same delicious brassiness that coloured the notes of the late, great Amy Winehouse.’ 10 Mag
