Ahead of it’s December 14th release, New Jersey singer-songwriter, Olawumi shares her debut album, MOODY, featuring singles “My Fault” and “Please Don’t Go.”

Using smokey, distinct vocals and airy harmonies, Olawumi’s music carries a confessional, old-soul storytelling nature rooted in honesty. From love and heartbreak to womanhood and self-discovery, the New Jersey native’s music is telling the lived experiences of Black and toxic love stories. Upon its release, MOODY trended on Audiomack for a consecutive three weeks, amassing over 20k plays in only two weeks.

OLAWUMI:
“I began this album officially in 2016, when I released “My Fault”. I was so excited to finally start an album. It was supposed to be a breakup album for my boyfriend at the time, but production got cut short when I fell ill in 2017. Everything was put on hold. My entire life. I finished the album officially in July of this year. (2021).

I am looking to invoke the true magic of self awareness and love with this album. I want women (and men alike) to learn that it is OKAY to feel, mourn, cry and love. None of it makes you “crazy”, or “soft”. Love isn’t always both ways, love is painful, love is happy, love is sad, love is confusing, and love is MOODY. This album highlights that. This shit just doesn’t make sense sometimes, but it can definitely sound beautiful.

 The important lesson to learn is loving yourself. Without that, none of this is worth it. Hence, “Free.”
