Olly B - You'll Find Love

'You'll Find Love' is my favourite track from young rapper Olly B's forthcoming EP 'Mirrors', which is set to be released on March 25th and is produced entirely by Ollie Green. At the tender age of 16 he is by no means the finished article, but with his thought-provoking lyrics, unique vocal tone (rapping & singing) and under the management of triple platinum producer Jake Gosling, the only way is up for the Birmingham-born starlet. There are moments in this track where he reminds me of Maverick Sabre, and that can only be a good thing. Follow Olly on Twitter HERE.
