Bri Oglu has released her debut EP ‘Somewhere Else.’ A Six track collection of originals and covers that come together to allow the listener to escape.
Building on her deep, cinematic-pop sound, this EP connects a range of listeners and is now available on all platforms. Somewhere Else is the final chapter after the successful release of her previous four singles.
“Slowly,” “Enough,” and her epic covers of “Dream On” and “Genie in a Bottle,” were Bri Oglu’s introduction to this world, laying the foundation to make waves.
The EP features an unreleased Soundgarden cover and a new original track, “#1.” “#1” shows the struggle of watching someone you love choose another when you know it’s over, yet feeling possession. Her powerful vocals mixed with booming instrumentation piece this track together perfectly. The soulful pop singer says she wrote this EP as a way to escape the world around here.
“This EP was a product of the pandemic,” Oglu explains. “It was something to focus my attention on and look forward to when the live music scene shut down. It was the ‘somewhere else’ in my head, a compilation of songs written when I was anything but present, and my escape.”
With unique and cinematic production from Will Snyder and mixing by Tim Latham, it is no doubt this EP will impress.
Bri Oglu grew up listening to icons like Britney Spears, Celine Dion, and Shania Twain but found comfort in rock, soul, and jazz. With her background in musical theater and growing up with radio hits, Oglu always had a deep passion for singing.
Roots in acting and theater lead her music to have cinematic qualities that visualize the stories behind them. Her music has been praised by CelebMix, PopWrapped, Naluda Magazine, LA Music Review, and more.
Racking over 53K streams on Spotify, an impressive feat for an artist who only debuted over the summer.
Bri Oglu is setting the perfect tone for the rest of her career with Somewhere Else. Filled with unique styling, lyricism, and vocals, Bri Oglu is an artist to watch.
