Olive Klug is a Los Angeles, USA-based singer songwriter who has just hit my radar thanks to their ode to growing into oneself. It’s called Taking Up Space.

By Graeme Smith

If you’ve ever felt insecure about who you are, then you’ll find a lot to relate to in Taking Up Space. Olive beautiful renders the feeling through descriptive lyrics about driving in the fast lane and looking at themself in mirror. An intimate acoustic arrangement slowly builds into something triumphant. Taking Up Space is a wonderful anthem to non-conformity.

Olive now lives in LA and was raised in Portland, Oregon. They’re a hit on TikTok and Spotify and has their debut LP Don’t You Dare Make Me Jaded out now via Nettwerk.
