In their new single, “Normal, See?”, Olive + Harrison tackle mental health through a wonderful mix of indie pop and experimental hip hop.
With their distinctive blend, the duo takes the listener on an unexpected journey with each lyrically sharing what it’s like to deal with the mental struggles and hiding one’s self.
On the song, Harrison says,
I hope ‘Normal See?’ can shine a light on how theatrical and absurd our performance in daily life can be. The social fabric that holds our entire first world civilization together is a house of mirrors, and when that is the reality we’ve all agreed upon – I imagine the most frightening mirror is the one that reflects us as we are.
The duo’s visceral approach to their lyrics and music is an unapologetic perspective and reflection of life and society.
The visuals* for the “Normal, See?” show the struggles and complexities of everyday life and Harrison‘s words ring true when he says that our lives can be a theatrical performance, and Olive + Harrison‘s music can help listeners see through that facade.
In a world where people are often forced to hide behind a social mask, Olive + Harrison‘s “Normal, See?” celebrates individuality, inner struggles, and above all, honesty.
“Normal, See?” is an invitation to be one’s best self, no matter what.
