Olivia O’Brien, the 19-year old LA-based singer/songwriter named one of “100 Women Revolutionizing Pop Music” by Paper Magazine, and whose songs have surpassed over 1.5 billion global streams, releases her long-awaited debut album, Was It Even Real?, today via Island Records.  The album gathers all of Olivia’s recent critically acclaimed single releases, including “Love Myself,” “Just Friends,” “Just A Boy,” and gives us our first proper introduction into Olivia’s purpleworld.

On the release of her debut album, Olivia states- “My debut album “Was It Even Real?” is out now! I can’t believe it is finally out in the world after all the time I spent working on it. This album is a cumulation of everything I have felt in the past year or so. I really discovered my sound in the process of creating this album, and I also learned a lot about myself and grew as a person exponentially. It’s a documentation of some of my worst and hardest moments, but being on the other side of it all and sharing those experiences is something really special to me.”
