Randie O'Neil sings about domestic violence; a homage to 'Olivia'

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Jan. 28, 2024 - PRLog -- We've heard it on the news, witnessed a bruise here and there, seen a glare or a bowed head when the topic surfaces, caked on makeup and new hairstyles to hide evidence. Domestic violence is all around us. More and more the terms narcissism, psychopath and/or sociopath are mentioned through podcasts, blogs, vlogs, movies, TV series, Talk Shows and more but are we really ready to discuss the truth behind the pain or come to someone's rescue who is really in need? In a world where human rights including women's rights and trafficking are still huge issues to combat, do we really have a proper plan of action or the tools in place for improving our outlook on such verified insecurities and loveless challenges? Is there future hope and happiness for these victims?

Although the story of Olivia hits home more than we may think, this piece is not a work of fiction. Randie O'Neil reveals that the character of Olivia, a waitress (played by Janel Mackaravitzis in her lyric video) being stocked by her male friend (cameoed by Rocker Johnny Chase) portrays the reality of victims of domestic violence. The truth behind 'Olivia' struck a musical chord in her heart. "A person who goes to work, goes about her daily living and is happy goes lucky until she's not. It's such a common thing to be stocked or violated in today's world but no one likes to talk about it."

O`Neil's vision commenced while rebranding and reinventing her new album.  She mentions in her BTS that this was to be a "murder ballad" and ``it wasn't rolling out for her as planned``. She started the idea for the song with names such as Maryann and Louise, and after much digression, she Googled the most popular name and Olivia was revealed. It was the last song to be recorded for her EP and her Producers wanted to hear something more upbeat.

O`Neil wants you to 'get ready to dive deep into the making of a powerful narrative`. The creation of her latest video, "Olivia" was shot at Palmer Diner in Easton, PA, where she explores her subjects as an on-looker over a couples quarrel; and as most do,  judging without intervention.
