Tallinn-based alt-rock artist and producer OLLIE (Oliver Mazurtšak) returns with his most emotionally powerful release to date, “Guardian Angel,” a soul-stirring ballad that dives deep into the complexity of grief, memory, and hope. Known for his genre-fusing productions and raw honesty, OLLIE once again delivers a track that balances vulnerability and power, channelling soft rock, pop-rock, and alternative country into a cinematic, heartfelt anthem.
Coming off a wave of national recognition following his back-to-back second-place finishes in Estonia’s Eurovision pre-selections with “Venom” (2023) and “My Friend” (2024), OLLIE continues to strike a deep chord with fans both at home and abroad. With “Guardian Angel,” he reaches new emotional heights, offering listeners a mirror into their own experiences of love, loss, and the search for meaning.
Written in a single sitting while reflecting on his own grief and that of loved ones, “Guardian Angel” came together in a rare and inspired flow. From its haunting “huuuuu-huuuu” opening to its sweeping production, the track blends acoustic intimacy with soaring emotional peaks. Collaborations with bandmates Karl (drums) and Charles (keys) brought depth and groove to the arrangement, creating a warm, layered soundscape that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.
In classic OLLIE fashion, the production strikes a delicate balance between polished detail and raw authenticity. His signature blend of modern rock aesthetics with 2000s post-grunge, nu-metal, and alternative influences is here given a softer, more introspective twist, without losing the dynamic energy that defines his sound.
With “Guardian Angel,” OLLIE once again proves that his greatest strength lies in emotional honesty. The track is a timeless ballad for anyone who’s ever mourned, remembered, or hoped. A reminder that love doesn’t disappear, it transforms.
