“Olivia Dolphin and I met on a Tuesday afternoon, just after I had finished listening to her 2024 album Better. With some favorite songs still in my head… I was eager to chat with the artist.”
If It’s Too Loud
There was something truly mesmerizing about her performance. As soon as they started playing, I was hooked. Turns out Dolphin is a vocal powerhouse, and her band might secretly be the tightest band in the Providence scene.
Sounds won’t stop
The record is filled with brilliant instrumentation that gives you an almost orchestral or cinematic aesthetic with strings, piano, and more, all built into this release that gives you the essence of someone's persona.
B-side Guys
This EP may be shorter than Better, but it’s packed: musically through orchestral ambition, lyrically through specific imagery, emotionally through vulnerability she hadn’t shown before

Lyrically, “Quiet Girls” is a masterclass in storytelling through suggestion. Dolphin weaves a narrative of marginalization and eventual empowerment, using repeated phrases and stark imagery to build tension. The chorus, with its warning of quiet girls who “will find you out” and “hunt you down,” serves as both a threat and a promise of retribution.
Conversation and a live performance from Olivia in The Public’s Radio studio! Listen to Olivia and James Baumgartner discuss musical influence, the Providence creative community and Olivia’s love hate relationship with musical theatre.

“Lincoln's Dolphin makes waves with anthem against perfectionism”

2022
One of the local artists who teamed up with Pitch & Prose to release their music was Olivia Dolphin with this full-length album that came out on April 8, 2022. Dolphin is a stellar songwriter and this record is a prime example of why. If you give “Too Deep”, “In The Dark” and “We Wrote The Book” off of it a listen, then you’ll probably agree with me.

“Nobody likes to be ghosted”, shares Olivia Dolphin. With that being the inspiration behind his highly groovy and up-tempo track, we are captivated by her effortless ability to craft up such unique sound within the realms of indie pop and alternative rock. A song that captures the gritty honesty of being ghosted, Olivia is solidifying her image as a promising, young up and coming artist in an increasingly competitive field.
