The Black Belles co-founder, singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Jean has announced her third solo LP, Raving Ghost, due May 5 via Third Man Records (pre-order). The Detroit-born, Nashville-based artist also shared “Trouble,” the assertive, classic-punk-inspired first single. “Ever since I was a kid, writing songs and playing guitar has been an addiction that nothing else can touch,” Olivia Jean says. “My guitar is an appendage. I could never put my guitar down even if I tried.” Listen to “Trouble” below.

Raving Ghost is Olivia’s first album since 2019’s Night Owl, and it includes a cover of Enya’s “Orinocco Flow,” and contributions by My Morning Jacket keyboardist Bo Koster, Jellyfish co-founder Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and drummers Carla Azar and Patrick Keeler. Check out the full tracklist and artwork below.

Olivia Jean has also announced a tour following the release of Raving Ghost, including an appearance at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Festival. See all dates below.
