NEW ALBUM RELEASE – yeule ‘softscars’
23 September 2023
Manchester-born indie and alternative artist Abbie Ozard is back with another dreamy single titled ‘miss american dream’ featuring musician and producer Pixey. This is her second single release of this year after ‘anything for you,’ and her fourth single release from her upcoming album ‘everything still worries me’ via House Anxiety Records. This is her first collaboration, as she collaborates with Liverpool-born Pixey with this new single. This is also Pixey’s first time producing for another artist, and she is also due to release her anticipated debut album Million Dollar Baby, on August 2nd via Chess Club Records.
Ozard’s new single ‘miss american dream’ is as celestial as her 2023 singles ‘i don’t know happiness without you’ and ‘days like these’. However, this single is more anthemic. Working with Pixey, this song celebrates female friendships, girlhood and romances between women, and having constant support from strong women, which is something both Ozard and Pixey cherish. Ozard has always looked up to girls and women her whole life and is constantly in awe of how strong women are, which is evident in her 2023 single ‘i don’t know happiness without you,’ an ode to friendships and letting people know how much they meant to her.
Since Ozard’s debut, BBC Radio 1 hosts Jack Saunders and Huw Stephens have continuously championed Ozard, featuring her on BBC Introducing as Track of the Week. BBC 6 Music presenters Abbie McCarthy and Chris Hawkins have been fans of Ozard’s music since her debut. But the praise never stopped there. Ozard has been rewarding fans with her music as she headlined tours through 2022 and 2023, performed at Glastonbury, and supported Briston Maroney on his European tour. BBC Radio 1 has also supported Pixey, as Radio 1 presenters Saunders, Clara Amfo and Mollie King praised her for her talents. Spotify has also spotlighted the artist.
Ozard’s debut album will be released July 25th, though she has been teasing her debut album since September of last year after releasing ‘i don’t know happiness without you’. More of her empyrean singles will be included in the album, as ‘days like these,’ ‘anything for you,’ and ‘miss american dream’ appear in the tracklist. Fans know Ozard for creating seraphic harmonies and enchanting arrangements as she celebrates friendships and girlhood. However, she often juxtaposes her celestial music arrangements with dark themes. Her 2023 single ‘days like these’ challenges the use and darkness of social media while being coated with dainty chords, and ‘’anything for you’ embodies desperation and yearning to have their love reciprocated. Ozard’s debut album celebrates friendships, family and relationships, but also presents an underlying sense of uncertainty. Ozard juxtaposes celebrating small wins and joys with the way it can quickly turn sour, which reflects the unease of navigating life in your twenties. This summer, Ozard will paint an “upside-down world” for her fans.
