Los Angeles based artist Olivia Prado blends silky R&B with nostalgic pop, inspired by 00’s icons such as Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Rihanna. Latest single ‘Up n Down’ gives us a taste for her upcoming EP Dirty In The Sand, set to be released on 26 August.

“This song was inspired by movement, dance, and groove. I actually wrote it while dancing around my apartment. I wanted to create something that makes you feel confident and empowered without trying too hard. To me, it feels cool, stylish, and unapologetically feminine.” – Olivia Prado

There’s no doubt that this smooth, sexy single inspires movement (whether it’s on the dance floor or in the bedroom). The beats are bassy and Prado’s hypnotic vocals slide effortlessly above, putting you in an intimate trance.

Olivia Prado perfectly balances new and nostalgia; I’m seduced by her music and can’t wait for more.
