Here at LADbible Ireland, we like to celebrate Ireland and the great things that come from our country and our culture. It's why we're here. That's why we're so proud to announce our new ongoing feature, The Scene, our slot to showcase Irish musical talent on LADbible.
The Scene sets out to big up the best that Ireland has to offer, to give a platform to our best up and coming musicians and to help you keep on top of everything that is happening in the music scene in Ireland and abroad.
For our first act, we're delighted to welcome Ovie (pronounced oh-vee-ay). He's just dropped his new single, One More Time, the eagerly awaited follow up to Dublin Girl, one of the best new tracks of 2019. This latest single was a year in the making and continues the pop and Afrobeat vibes that gave Ovie his sound. Not content with just producing the track, he directed the video himself.
"It was really positive," says the man himself of the reaction to his first video. "Even now people are still messaging me about that song. I was very happy. If I can't control the outcome, I just focus on making the video as good as it can be, the track as good as it can be. I realise that there's an element of hard work and an element of luck. You can't control the luck, only the hard work so I just do that bit to the best of my ability and hope it pays off".
"Lyrically I tried to be very honest," says Ovie of his new track. "I think many people can relate to the feelings I'm describing in the song. I told the story of a guy who seemingly has everything but is unhappy because he lost what really mattered in the process of getting everything he thought mattered."
"Production wise I wanted to create a juxtaposition between the lyrics on paper and the vibe of the song. It's really a sad song but if you were to listen passively, I think you'd probably miss that. That's what I wanted, an honest sad song that you could dance to."
You can cop the track now via Universal Music.
