First Single Under Consideration for 69th Grammy Awards in Both Song and Record of the Year Categories via Perfectly Pitched LLC & ADA Nordics / Warner Music

“The song delves into the perilous twofold nature of its title: the seductive pull of harmful circumstances and the unvarnished reality of romance.”— OLIVIALOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A certain commanding presence accompanies genuine self-assurance, and that quality is unmistakable from the very first notes of Olivia’s “Venom.” The multi-platinum songwriter and performing artist seizes attention with a track that comes across as intentional, unpolished, and wholly self-driven. Now available worldwide through her own label, Perfectly Pitched LLC, with distribution handled by ADA Nordics under Warner Music, and executive production in collaboration with Life Plus Institute, “Venom” lands as Olivia receives official recognition for the 69th Grammy Awards in the categories of both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

For an artist whose extensive career over multiple decades includes hit-making records, business ventures, and full creative control, this moment represents neither a return nor a transformation—it is the organic progression of an artist functioning at peak capacity, entirely according to her own conditions.

A SOUND EMBRACING STRESS AND SELF-ASSURANCE

“Venom” flourishes on opposition, blending modern R&B and pop tunes with hypnotic Afrobeats grooves. Instead of pursuing passing fads, the production creates a taut, cinematic atmosphere centered on emotional control.

MAIN THEME • VIEWPOINT

“The song delves into the perilous twofold nature of its title: the seductive pull of harmful circumstances and the unvarnished reality of romance. Most importantly, it serves as a strengthening reminder for audiences that they are not isolated, holding the understanding and self-esteem to traverse any setting without harm.”

Reflected visually in the promotional imagery—where Olivia remains serene and steady with a live serpent draped across her—the piece conveys tranquility instead of struggle. Her voice remains composed and measured while the beat drives a darker, appealing groove, fostering an ambiance of grace rather than urgency.

EXCEPTIONAL SONGWRITING AND A STRUCTURED MUSICAL LEGACY

Widely acknowledged for songs that influenced radio across the globe—including her initial success “Bizounce” and significant international tracks such as “Candy Shop” and “Best Friend”—Olivia’s creative work has consistently rested on her core abilities as a composer, keyboardist, and vocal arranger.

Developed from gospel foundations beginning at age seven and influenced by her diverse Jamaican and Cuban background, her work has never depended on external approval. “Venom” does not seek to recreate earlier periods; it expands on that established catalog, demonstrating that her writing and artistic perspective remain as sharp as ever as she prepares the groundwork for her upcoming record, Shining Girl.

GENUINE AUTONOMY AND FULL CREATIVE AUTHORITY

Working through Perfectly Pitched LLC, Olivia maintains complete control over her original recordings, visual presentation, and overall design. This independence elevates the release from a standard label distribution into an unmistakable creative declaration.

Combined with the worldwide reach of ADA Nordics and Warner Music, she preserves international scope while retaining total independent decision-making. Additionally, the partnership with Life Plus Institute embeds a purposeful charitable dimension beneath the music, linking her creative output with wider social contributions.

REACHING A DIVERSE AUDIENCE ACROSS GENERATIONS

While Olivia holds a loyal fanbase primarily in the United States, the UK, and Canada, “Venom” directly connects with a digital-first generation that crosses genre boundaries among R&B, Afropop, and international sounds.

Alongside her presence in fashion, lifestyle, and her health-focused brand AIVILO, this release positions Olivia not simply as a creator of hits, but as a lasting cultural presence advancing with purposeful drive and authentic influence.
