Singer, songwriter, reality tv star, producer, and R&B hitmaker Olivia has made her long-anticipated return with a provocative new earworm named No Permission, her first official release after a two-year break.
Olivia – No Permission
Olivia Theresa Longott, better known simply as Olivia, is no stranger to mainstream success, with a career that spans over the last 20 years, the number of accolades in her career is pretty extensive. At the young age of 19, she became the first artist to be signed to Clive Davis label J Records.
Her self-titled debut album sold over half a million units reaching the number 55 on the Billboard 200 and the spot 22 on the Top R&B / Hip Hop chart, with the singles Bizounce and Are U Capable getting constant radio airplay, becoming one of the most notorious debuts of that year.
Those with a broad hip-hop knowledge will also remember Olivia as part of the legendary group G-Unit, rap faction where she gained the nickname ‘the first lady of G-Unit’. During those years, she also collaborated with the icon himself 50 Cent, in blockbuster hits like Candy Shop and Best Friend.
Since 2011 Olivia has released her music independently, with successful tracks like December and Walk Away paving the way for a new stage in her career. 2022 marks the return of this exceptional performer to the music scene with a brand new jam called No Permission.
No Permission is a sexy R&B slow jam that dazzles with wit and wordplay.
The first thing to notice in this piece is how Olivia’s formidable vocal delivery hasn’t diminished one bit after all these years, her vocal range is as impressive as ever. The slow beat works perfectly for the sensual lyrics with the blunt themes of desire, lust, and sensuality showcasing her always evolving songwriting skills.
Olivia has proved to be a class act in the R&B world, just like fine wine, her music gets better as time passes, and this new tune is no exception. Still, with more music and projects coming soon, Olivia is here to stay.
