Olivia Broadfield - Eyes Wide Open
Adding one more electro-pop record to this list won't hurt. Oh but that's such a terrible way to introduce this entry because Olivia Broadfield's debut full-length Eyes Wide Open is an electro-pop record that belongs in the no-filler-all-winner category. Unlike some electronic albums where the synthesized part takes the front seat, Eyes Wide Open places the melodies smack right in the center and uses the synthesized sounds as drapings all around it. Listening to this record is like a smooth and memorable ride from start to finish.

Howdy kids,
Did you all have a good Christmas? I certainly did, and today I dragged myself kicking and screaming into the 21st century, goodbye 5 channel 14 inch CRT TV, hello flatscreen and Wii...oh I am in heaven!
Also INDESCRIBABLE has been selected as one of 10 songs for a filmaka.com competition. Film-makers submit pitches for the song and if the song wins it gets played at the freaking Grammies! Oh yes that would be a good start to 09...anyone can enter so if you think you have a good idea for the song go to http://www.filmaka.com/competition.php?page=current&competition_id=277
Deadline is 2nd Jan so hurry, hurry, I figure the more people who make a video for my song, the more chance I have of winning :) Ha I am all about having a video shown at the Grammies...I might just pee my pants with the excitement of it all...
Love love love...Olivia xx

Hey all,
Are you arty-farty, are you videoey-wideoey...then this competition is for you!
We're looking for people to get creative, it's so cold here in the UK my brain has frozen and I need your help!
I need some merchandise and would love you to send in your designs...T-shirts, mugs, badges...you design it and if you win, we get your design printed up :)
We'd also love to see more of your videos, so make me a music video and if you win, we will feature you on myspace/youtube etc. etc. plus if it's super good we may be able to use it as an official video and send it to VH1, MTV etc.
The closing date is 5th December, that gives you 8 weeks...so sharpen your pencils, get out your director's chair and errr...start?
A shortlist of 5 videos and 5 designs will be decided on by a panel of judges and then people vote for their favourite, then they win, it's that simple :)
Send all entries to olivia@oliviamusic.co.uk or you can post videos and artwork on the myspace blog or facebook wall...
I've probably left out some vital piece of information so if you need anything just email me!
Love you! x

Hello lovelies! So...what's new!? Well...I have been gone so long as I am hibernating,
the weather here is so bad the only option for me is to start gathering nuts and live in a tree until summer returns...the squirrels and hedgehogs have got it so right!
In actual true news, I have been busy in the studio and there is a new track up www.myspace.com/oliviabroadfield which is free to download for the next week. "Don't Cry" is also being used on MTV's new hit show "Exiled" so, if you can, watch it
on 29th September...10pm CT/ET/PMT...whatever that means...
Most excitingly, filming for my new music video starts this weekend, oh hooray! Kurt Nishimura dons his director's cap once more and the storyline he has come up with is truly beautiful...you'll get to see the finished video next month, I can't wait!
And that, I think, is everything...actually, there is a whole bunch of secret exciting stuff
which I can't tell you about yet but it's GOOD!
Til then xx

Woah have I been slack at updating this! News news news...right now I am in the scary and exciting stage of talking to labels which is blowing my mind! I have swell managers who are taking good care of me and here's hoping something good comes from it. We also have some more placements coming up and the album is still selling well...I'm sorry this is really boring news, it's early and the caffiene hasn't quite kicked in yet, rendering me dull and lifeless...

Also The Real World Hollywood and The Bad Girls Club have both picked up "Don't Cry" for their shows. The Real World airs 7th May at 10pm on MTV, it sucks that I don't live in America and don't get to watch it :(
What else, what else...oh yes! The album has been officially released in Russia, hello Russian fans! We're expecting to do a load of press etc, out there which will be super cool and lastly I did a photoshoot with Andrew Robert Fox and I love the results, go to www.myspace.com/oliviabroadfield and I'll get them posted up on here too, and that is all!
