Olivier Laurent – “Solin Anj”
Olivier Laurent’s new album “Solin Anj” deserves your attention from the first track to the last one. The whole project is tied to a children’s book he’s putting out, but don’t let that throw you. This isn’t just for parents or kids. It’s a thoughtful, soul-rooted take on what it means to prepare for major life shifts, especially the kind that come with becoming a parent. When it’s time to pick my favorite artists of the year, Olivier Laurent will definitely be one of them.
“Solin Anj” stands out because of how grounded it is, you can tell it was made during a real turning point in Laurent’s life. Each track digs into different parts of that process, fear, hope, change, and the perspective is so specific (a child about to be born) that it ends up feeling universal. That’s a tough balance to pull off, but he makes it work. “Sold Out” is a personal favorite, it lands with clarity and intention and feels like the emotional core of the album. It says a lot without overexplaining, which is something Olivier does really well across the whole project.
If you’re into music with real intention behind it, check out “Solin Anj”, and follow Olivier Laurent on social media to keep up with what he drops next in 2025.
