Olina’s “Let Her Lie” hits with the feeling of a bomb being dropped immediately before you pass out from heat exhaustion, closer on her EP "By The Book," Olina hits the final chapter of an incredibly personal project, and it feels as such, like a soft exhale after holding one’s breath through quiet tensions.
"By The Book" reveals living in a different country and the less spoken or unnoticed challenges that come with it. "Let Her Lie” seems like the emotional answer to that story. It conveys the understanding that not everything can be fixed, and that sometimes peace comes from accepting rather than doing. That understanding settles over the song without force, giving these moments the sensation of being both purifying and wholly human.
“Let Her Lie” binds the EP together in a way that feels earned. It’s not “Look at me” "it’s stay here with me". Olina sends listeners on their way in a spirit of calm clarity, evidence of her knack for making music that lands hard emotionally.
