Warner Music Nashville rising star Robyn Ottolini is love drunk and, well, just plain drunk on her major label debut The But I’m Not Always Sad Either EP, available now (LISTEN HERE). The four-song project explores another side of the singer / songwriter behind the independently released The I’m Not Always Hilarious EP. Ottolini creates her own kind of party with clever lyricism and creative production, courtesy of Erik Fintelman and Mark Schroor, that includes plenty of ad-libs. The EP tackles romantic love, friend-love, family love and, most of all, self-love.
“I’m so happy to finally share the fun-loving part of me again,” Ottolini shared. “Being sad is necessary for healing but dang… I’m not always sad! I hope these songs bring you joy. I hope that they make you feel loved and safe and comfortable in your own skin. You’re perfectly imperfect, and I’m so thankful to be on this journey with all of you.”
Fans got a first listen of The But I’m Not Always Sad Either EP earlier this month with the release of “Tell You Everything” (LISTEN HERE). The adoring anthem stands in stark contrast to the viral hit that helped earn her record deal – current radio single “F-150” (LISTEN HERE). “F-150” has propelled Ottolini to more than 45 million global career streams. The track reached No. 4 on Spotify’s all-genre US Viral 50 chart and No. 3 on Rolling Stone’s all-genre Trending 25. The official music video, which boasts 3.6 million views, features red-hot visuals and was filmed in the Toronto, Ontario area near her hometown of Uxbridge.
Ottolini’s small-town-Canadian upbringing serves as the creative inspiration for every witty, relatable lyric she writes. Inspired by artists like Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves and Sam Hunt, the 25-year-old has been named a 2021 Artist To Watch by The Boot and Yardbarker. She is currently tied for the most 2021 CMAOntario Award nominations with five total nods.
