Olivia Marsh was somewhere in the sky, gripping her seat through turbulence, when she became completely convinced she was about to die. The plane landed safely. And then, as she tells it, she went straight back to her old self. It's a pattern she knows well – that flash of clarity in the worst moments, and how quickly it fades once the danger passes. Paraglider, her sophomore EP, is her attempt to hold onto it anyway.

Marsh is an Australian-Korean singer-songwriter based in Seoul, signed to Warner Music Korea. She spent years writing for other artists before stepping out herself, debuting in late 2024 with the single "42" and releasing her first EP Meanwhile in February 2025. Paraglider is the next step – and a more confident one. She co-produced the title track herself, recording the bulk of the EP from her home studio, on her own terms.

Across five tracks, the EP moves through fleeting connection, undefined feeling, the courage to leave something familiar, and the weight of a moment you can't take back. Focus track “Roll” is the EP's seductive and electronic turn, built for late nights. "One Touch" sits at the other end, minimal and exposed, drawn from a real memory of pulling away from someone who reached for her. The EP's ethereal namesake – which Marsh produced and composed herself – closes things out not with resolution, but with something dream-like and harder to name: the realisation that freefall and freedom might be the same sensation.

We caught up with Marsh to talk through the project – how it came together, what it costs to be that honest in a song, and what it means when the music starts to mean something different than what you wrote it for.
