Written by Jon Mckechnie Season’s Firsts ... new music that is. Speaking of, when we first noticed Abi Ocia on the platform back in 2019, her debut single 'Running' stopped us in our tracks (you have to take a listen if you haven't already). Since then, she’s been carving out her own lane. Every track a new era, every video a visual statement. She takes her time, crafts every detail, and it shows. There’s honesty in her unforgetable voice, soul in her sound, and you can’t help but lean in. Her latest single 'sliding doors' sums up a large part of how the last few years have felt for Abi; "like being in constant transition, with no clear breakthrough. A feeling that you’re not quite sure if you’ve really ‘grown up,’ while those around you seem to be hitting all the fictional markers of life". Listen to 'sliding doors' here.
