OLLIE Releases Poignant New Single “Guardian Angel”

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.

On the single, OLLIE shares:

“I lost my grandfather in December. I kept feeling his presence. It wasn’t something I could explain, just this guiding feeling. That idea—that someone might still be watching over us even after they’re gone—inspired the whole track.”

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 more on the song, OLLIE states:

“I don’t want to dictate how someone should feel. What you feel is right. But for me, this song is about finding the light in dark places. About focusing on the small, beautiful things—even when everything feels like it’s falling apart.”

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.
