Fabio D'Andrea. The group referred to by OIga as her 'dream team' are hoping to repeat the success of their last single together which reached Number One in the iTunes Classical charts, in the process knocking off
Ed Sheeran and
Andrea Bocelli from the top spot!
Olga
Thomas has had a lifelong admiration and passion for the Royal family. Through her work with Cruse Bereavement Care, Olga has spent a lot of time, energy and creative musical craftsmanship on a unique music programme, a tradition to give their patron,
Her Majesty The
Queen special gifts of music composed by Olga to commemorate the important events in the life of the Royal Household. This has led to Olga writing and performing many tracks for the
Royal Family over the years, alongside her own projects and single and album releases. She has worked with many amazing musicians through her work as a composer, who have all brought their own individual interpretation of her music bringing it to life. These singers include
Joanna Forest,
Daniel Koek (Les Misérables), Wynne Evans, The Band Of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth (Royal Band), Emily Haig and many more.
Joanna Forest shot to fame in 2017 when she broke records becoming the first independent artist to go straight to Number 1 in the Official Classical Album Charts with a debut album, "Stars Are Rising". Her 2nd album, "The Rhythm of Life", released in 2019, also shot straight to the top of the classical charts on release.
Joanna has previously recorded with Olga including a classical Number 1 single with "The Royal Platinum Love Song", released to celebrate 70 years of marriage between The
Queen and
Prince Philip, a Top 10 classical Christmas hit, "That is his Story". Olga and
Joanna recently hit the No.1 spot once more in the classical chart with "By My Side' written to celebrate 60 years of the wonderful work Cruse Bereavement Care Charity.
Adrian Warwick worked previously with Olga when he co-wrote the lyrics with Grahame Maclean to 'By My Side' which reached number 1 in the I Tunes Classical charts knocking off
Andrea Bocelli and
Ed Sheeran from the top spot. Adrian is so pleased to once again be working with Olga
Thomas and
Joanna Forest as part of The
Dream Team once again working with the amazing producer
Fabio D'Andrea. Adrian continues to write across genres including classical crossover, modern country and ballads.
Olga is delighted to once again join forces with
Joanna Forest and lyricist Adrian Warwick on the new single 'Flowers On The Doorstep'. Joanna's endearing and pure voice interprets Olga's very personal composition, which was written to reflect her journey as a young woman travelling from Russia to London some 30 years ago. The feeling of finding a place she felt she finally belonged and could be her true self, her beloved London was the place that embraced and welcomed her, which in turn helped her to develop her creativity and grow wings.
Olga comments:
''Flowers are a feeling of being welcomed home, they are a symbol for every occasion in life - celebrations, birthdays, memories, anniversaries, success….. and flowers are part of nature they are all round you but when they are waiting on your doorstep it's a feeling of being wanted and accepted, that is a very special feeling."
The single was recorded just as lock down started to be lifted in London at The Old Hit Factory. Its positivity is infectious and it evokes a feeling of a bygone Hollywood film era, evoking memories and feelings of a blissful, calm and happy moment in time. A perfect anecdote of Olga's story and indeed an escapism of the current World climate.
