Olivia then sat down with Jimmy to discuss the whirlwind year she’s had, “I think songwriting is a great medium to express emotions like that that aren’t really fun to talk about. It’s this nice, therapeutic way to talk about feelings that are uncomfortable.  I’ve been writing songs since I could literally talk, my mom has home videos of me making up gibberish songs about going to the grocery store when I was so young. When I was 9 years old, I learned how to play the piano and started writing more proper songs.”

Olivia recently made an appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians issue alongside Alanis Morissette, “I look up to her so much and I just think she’s the coolest person and the most amazing songwriter.  It was such an honor to meet her. She gave me dating advice, too, which I think is so cool. To get dating advice from Alanis Morissette, that’s pretty iconic,” she shares.

 

Her late-night appearance comes days after her single ‘Good 4 U’ reached one billion streams on Spotify, becoming the ‘fastest female solo song ever.’
