Up-and-coming young artist, Olie Beckett's new single, "Effortlessly", is a heartfelt pop tune that makes us all feel like teenagers again. The song focuses on the intense feelings that come with a new crush. We've all been there. When someone seems to be perfect, keeping our composure or thinking about anything else is extremely hard, especially when they seem so, well, effortless about it! Olie puts a unique spin on the story, really bringing out those feelings of desperation without making the song sound sad. He keeps high, upbeat energy throughout the song, making it both danceable and relatable.
I love the musical style of this song. It's no doubt a pop song, but Olie's vocals are so vibrant and jazzy. He adds an R&B element to the typical; formula, really flexing those vocal skills. This paired with the rap lines and extremely catchy instrumental feels reminiscent of artists like RAYE, Sza, and Jessie J. The vocal runs even remind me a little bit of Sam Smith. The instrumental itself is really strong too, with pulsing drums, synths, and even harp. It's clear Olie knows a thing or two about production. "Effortlessly" fits right in with mainstream pop tunes and I can definitely imagine it following up Chappell Roan or Sabrina Carpenter on my local radio countdown.
14-year-old Olie Beckett always had a love for music growing up. He would sing along to the radio with his mother and soon realized he had a true passion for singing. He got his start auditioning for a countrywide choir, singing in church, and taking vocal lessons. He credits his vocal teacher, Melissa, for introducing him to the magic of musical theatre, something Olie uses as a base for his songwriting even now. Olie seems like a truly dedicated and passionate musician. In fact, he even says he finds it difficult to focus in school because he'd rather be songwriting. That's dedication right there. I think "Effortlessly" is a fantastic song and I can't wait to see what Olie does next. If you aren't following this guy, get on it! He's going places! You can hear "Effortlessly" On Spotify now.
