Abbie Ozard - Baby I'm Your Star
Confidence isn’t always something you have—it can also be something you practice.
Being dependent on validation from others is an uncomfortable state. No wonder the declaration “Baby I’m Your Star” comes wrapped in dark, Cure-esque indie rock rather than triumphant pop. But the Manchester-based singer-songwriter Abbie Ozard also reminds us not to give up chasing our dreams, even if we start with an audience of one.
Abbie explains:
Baby I’m Your Star’ is about trying to convince yourself you’re as confident as you want everyone else to think you are. On the surface it’s cocky and playful, but underneath it comes from wanting to be heard and believed in. The song plays with the tension between ego and self-doubt, and the idea that sometimes confidence is something you have to perform before you fully believe it. It feels like a defiant moment for me, but there’s still plenty of vulnerability hiding underneath.
