I like it. The instrumental and production is fantastic, coming from a music producer like Danny Harle then it should be expected. This is definitely in Ollys style, and I love the 'It's a Sin' vibe it has. I do feel in studio it's somewhat underwhelming but at the same time I also think they'll have some big show to go alongside this at Eurovision - a bit more power wouldn't go a miss. It's no winner, that's for sure but given our history I couldn't possibly be disappointed in this. I don't think i'm going to have this on repeat non stop but I am really happy with this.

Petition to change the "beautiful gardens" line to "beautiful gowns" in tribute to the late, great Aretha Franklin.
This instrumental is pretty great and that's an understatement. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. Musically speaking it's probably the most well produced and unique entry we've had by far.
The issue for me is I'm just not into Olly's vocals. He sounds like a now deceased singer I shan't name squeaking on the track for three minutes. It's not my thing. If someone like MNEK was the vocalist I would have ascended.
With the right artist this would be 12 from me (or close). I can't deny how good the composition is. So moody, dreamy and lush. It's delicious pop and I just really love the melancholy. Less than points for the track alone feels wrong so I'll give that with the right at any moment to change it to a still respectable 7 when it starts to annoy me (to an extent it already does annoy me because I just struggle with the chipmunk voice).
Edit: It's just hit me how hypocritical my strong dislike of Olly's voice is when Benjamin Ingrosso was my number 1 back in 2018, but you've all conveniently forgotten about that little unfortunate moment in my history x

Oh, this is a 10. After the disappointment of yesterday´s entries, I feel like I have finally been fed. First by Kaleen and now by Olly. A 10, darling!

I was right to be intrigued. Love it. Proud of our entry this year, and Olly will smash it live.

Firstly, I love the rising trends of synth sounds in 2024!
Dizzy screams Olly/YnY but there's something oddly space-y about the soundscape. Very enjoyable, though I feel I'm drawn more to the instrumental than the lyrics and voice.

A great radio friendly track that Im going to stream and enjoy, I dont know how its going to do on ESC, lacks a big moment and climax but its catchy and has staging potential.
