Abbie Ozard announces the release of her new EP Baby I’m Your Star for August 21st and releases the title track as a single today, with a quirky, pastoral video. ‘Baby I’m Your Star’ once again showcases Abbie’s talent for symphonic, open-armed tunes that strike at the heart of modern anxieties. Low-slung guitar chords provide a platform on which her vocals soar - the evident catharsis at odds with the fake-it-til-you-make-it lyrical themes, as Abbie explains:  “‘Baby I’m Your Star’ is about trying to convince yourself you're as confident as you want everyone else to think you are. On the surface it’s cocky and playful, but underneath it comes from wanting to be heard and believed in. The song plays with the tension between ego and self-doubt, and the idea that sometimes confidence is something you have to perform before you fully believe it. It feels like a defiant moment for me, but there's still plenty of vulnerability hiding underneath.”

‘Baby I’m Your Star’ follows recent single ‘Backbone’ in marking her first eagerly anticipated releases in a couple of years, following her debut album everything still worries me (2024 / House Anxiety). This was the culmination of a first phase during which she was championed by the most trusted of tastemakers. Press takes have come in from broadsheets (The Times, The Independent), indie bibles (DORK, The Line of Best Fit, Clash) and style / culture press (The FADER, NOTION, HUNGER) alike.

Jack Saunders and Huw Stephens have consistently backed both across BBC Radio 1, where she has also seen daytime airplay courtesy of a BBC Introducing Track of the Week grab. Abbie McCarthy and Chris Hawkins have been fans at BBC 6 Music. 

Headline tours over the years; a debut Glastonbury performance and European tour support stint with Briston Maroney, as well as many festival slots, have seen Abbie hone delivering her indie anthems to a fine art.

New EP Baby I’m Your Star is out August 21st - the ‘Baby I’m Your Star’ single is out now.
