On her latest release, "Space To Roam," Olivia Reid implies an intimacy that is intimate enough to silence the heart. She wrote and recorded the EP while on an artist residency in the peaceful-as-can-be Polish countryside. She leans into simplicity, warmth, and “grounding literary presence” across its six tracks and 22 minutes.
Reid refers to these songs as “soft songs for the soul,” written to slow down her heart rate, clear her head, and ground herself once again. That spirit shines in every note, resulting in an EP that feels like a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe easy, and permit ourselves to wander.
The centerpiece of the "Space To Roam" EP, “Space to Roam”, is a meditative jam and calming vocal power, an open field of contemplation and tranquility. Meanwhile, “All In Time” steps forward as a standout, weaving patience and a hopeful spirit into a song that sounds classic in its simplicity. Together, these songs convey Reid’s own sense that music can be a healing force, one that clears the clutter of our minds and makes space for inner stillness.
With the collection’s warm tones and measured pacing, "Space To Roam" is a journey. It tells listeners not to hurry through, but rather to slow down and observe the quiet as a mode of restoration. In an age that never stops, Olivia Reid provides a soundtrack for slowing down, reconnecting, and discovering freedom in stillness. On "Space To Roam," Olivia Reid's artistry is both deeply personal and widely resonant, marked by a music that feels like an effortless exhale for the listener.
