Ogi - Monologues (Mod) [CD]

"These songs are my outlet to say what I really felt about something but didn't say because my feelings didn't fit the script," says OGI."I was afraid of looking cocky or unruly ('Looker') or being overly resentful ('Bitter') or too apathetic ('Let Me Go') or being too affectionate ('IKYK'). These are performances of songs by a person who feels like she's performed all her life. How meta. The most relatable thing about my experience is that I tried to be something that I'm not to fall in line with an internalized notion of myself. In other words, I performed the expectations that I was given. And everyone can relate to forgoing the fullest expression of themselves for the sake of the crowd -the audience. But now I'm putting myself display and staging those thoughts I never intended for people to hear. We love radical (maybe too specific) honesty." Today, rising songstress OGI has unveiled her debut EP, MONOLOGUES. The project includes her debut single "I Got It" which was produced by GRAMMYr Award-winner No I.D. (Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West) and featured on Zane Lowe's World First on Apple Music. It also includes her second single "Envy" which was accompanied by an official live performance videoshot on location at Seattle, WA's inspirational Chihuly Garden and Glass. TRACKLISTING: 1.
