“Dolphin has captured a completely unique vibe that is all hers while still keeping her sound grounded in the familiar. "Lost" is a song that captivates by just the power of Dolphin's vocals and songwriting talents.”
Motif Magazine: She’ll cast a song on you
Olivia Dolphin and I met on a Tuesday afternoon, just after I had finished listening to her 2024 album Better. With some favorite songs like “I Don’t Think about You Anymore” and the title track “Better” still whirling around in my head, I was eager to chat with the artist who was to thank.

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.

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.
