Olive is an English trip-hop group that rose to prominence in the late 1990s, well-known for their distinctive blend of electronic, dance, and contemporary R&B sounds. The band's core members were originally singer Ruth-Ann Boyle, producer, keyboardist Tim Kellett, and producer, instrumentalist Robin Taylor-Firth. Olive gained international fame with their hit single "You're Not Alone," which charted around the globe and catapulted the group into the spotlight.

Their debut album, "Extra Virgin," released in 1996, showcased Olive's ethereal and moody soundscapes, which set them apart in the thriving electronic music scene of the era. Over time, the band has gone through various line-up changes and periods of inactivity, but their music continues to be celebrated and rediscovered by new generations of listeners. The relatively recent releases such as the evocative "Christmas Praying" and the reissue "Extra Virgin+" have ensured that Olive's music remains relevant and continues to resonate with fans, blending nostalgia with fresh production to keep their legacy alive in the modern music industry.
