Somebody who's been in the industry for a LONG time is finally looking to release her debut album. After two stints on the hit VH1 show 'Love & Hip Hop,' Olivia finally is getting some offers from a few record labels; offers that she wants. Her problem hasn't been getting a record deal. She says her problem has been getting the right deal. She's not trying to go through the same shit she went through with G-Unit & with J Records, so her taking her time and not taking the first offer on the table, actually makes sense.
Anyways, below is the video to her brand new single, "Walk Away." It tells the story of a girl who is getting abused by her boyfriend, but finds it too hard to "walk away" from the situation. A pretty dope video. Watch below:
People have really been on her case lately (myself included), because on 'Love & Hip Hop,' she's shown turning down at least two different deals, and she keeps complaining about not having one. People think she's stupid because "if you get offered a deal, you should take it and run." But that's not the case. This girl has been signed 2 times before. So she obviously knows what kind of deal she wants, and what kind of deal she doesn't. It's not about just signing because it's being offered to you. Why sign a $1.5 million deal (which she was offered), when most of the money would go towards her album (producers, marketing) and she would get no creative control. Clearly, she's been through a similar situation before. So I hope all works out for her in the end because she's definitely talented, and she's gorgeous.
OK song, OK video, Not sure this is the right single to boost her to superstardom. She needs something to get people interested and this is kind of safe of what's in the competitive market nowadays. Hopefully, I'm wrong but regardless I wish her the best because she has so much potential, she just has to get with the right team to utilize it
ReplyDeleteYeah it's pretty safe. I don't think she'll ever be a superstar. Maybe a few R&B hits over the next 2 years if she plays her cards right, but that's about it. She needs new material, something that sounds recent. Maybe work w/ Rico, Priscilla Renea, Bei Maejor, Darkchild....but she has to get a deal first.
