Olivia O’Brien – “Love Myself (feat. Jesse)”: 19 year old pop singer-songwriter got her start in the most Gen X way possible: through SoundCloud. After posting a cover of a song by Gnash, he reached out to her to collaborate. The two ended up creating “hate u, love u”, which appeared on Gnash’s 2017 EP, titled “us”. Since then, O’Brien has released her own singles, as well as her debut EP, “It’s Not That Deep”. Now O’Brien has a brand new single that’s going to be a chart topper called “Love Myself”. “Love Myself” is a confessional ode to self-love and all the confusion and pain that comes along the way.
