Behind Closed Doors is more than just an album to Olivia. This project is her chance to show the world that R&B; can be more than the standard "I love you so much" music. "It can go so much deeper than that. Behind Closed Doors will accomplish a lot," she says with overwhelming confidence. "My album has so many elements to it. I have a song on the album called, "Earth, Fire, & Wind." I'm saying in this song that this guy is my earth, fire, and wind. It's not your regular love song. I really got deep on that record." The other tracks Olivia gloated about were "Never Too Far" by Robert Smith and "Twist It" featuring her G-Unit label mate, Lloyd Banks.
Her eyes lit up at the opportunity to talk about "Twist It," her first single. "Oh man, that song is so dope," she claims. "I recorded that song in 50's studio. It's a party record that started out as a rap record. The song was on 50's file and since he told me to take what I wanted from his file, I had to have it. I called him up to let him know that the track was bananas, and that 'I gotta get you off of this.' He told me to take it. The track was perfect for me because of its' hip hop element. Banks just killed the track."
Expectations are extremely high for Olivia's G-Unit release to be successful. The first quarter of 2005 has already yielded two No. 1 albums for the G-Unit brand (50 Cent and The Game). "I'm not even worried," she proudly proclaims when expectations are involved. "I just want to live up to G-Unit standards. I think that after people hear my stuff, they'll follow me. It is time for somebody new and fresh to come out right now. That's why I believe that I will fit in. It's going to be something when I come out. I'm ready."
