Olivia Klugman

Olivia Klugman is a singer from London who started writing songs early, influenced by Norah Jones and Joni Mitchell. Her music tends toward the personal and reflective, with piano and acoustic arrangements that give her songs a quiet, intimate feel.

Her track 'Raining in June' got some attention for its straightforward take on heartbreak, built around a simple melody and direct lyrics. Another song, 'dress,' follows a similar pattern of understated storytelling over spare instrumentation.

Klugman put out a self-titled debut album that collected these kinds of ballad-driven songs. The writing stays close to everyday emotions without much ornamentation, which has drawn both listeners who appreciate the candor and some criticism about it being too plain or revealing.
