Belfast-based singer-songwriter Olivia Cox delivers a vibrant fusion of 80s-inspired pop and contemporary production on her latest single ‘Burn The Boat’, an emotionally charged anthem about love, uncertainty and taking the ultimate leap of faith.
The new track explores the internal struggle of questioning a relationship before finally embracing the courage to commit without leaving an escape route.
Built around driving rhythms, soaring melodies and warm, organic instrumentation, ‘Burn The Boat’ combines nostalgic pop influences with the emotional immediacy of her distinctive songwriting.
The single emerged during an all-female songwriting retreat in Jersey, where she collaborated with producer Kaja Riedle and composer Eloise Weeks. Following initial demo sessions, the song was completed at a London recording studio.
With this new offering, Olivia Cox transforms the fear of commitment into an uplifting declaration of confidence, delivering another memorable example of her increasingly accomplished alt-pop songwriting.
