Interview

Olivia Ellen Lloyd doesn't have time for what everyone thinks of her – she's forging her own path. Her latest sing,e "Every Good Man," is a twangy declaration of independence from patriarchal expectations and self-imposed limitations. Lloyd’s razor-sharp pen is the through line of Do It Myself (out March 21st), drawing portraits of the roles we're expected to fit into, and highlighting the ways those molds fail us. Lloyd played our last Rainbow Rodeo showcase and is looking to have a breakout 2025. We spoke about breaking out of Brooklyn, the past, and the prison of genre.
