The transition into an electrifying mix of guitars and drums is nothing short of a musical revelation. The seamless shift propels the song into an up-tempo, crowd-pleasing experience and creates an almost punk rock atmosphere that makes you want to move! The drums, in particular, emerge as a driving force and skillfully connect the diverse sections.

The chorus, a crowning achievement, not only boasts commercial appeal for music fans but I can also hear it being used in TV commercials or even movies. Its infectious quality leaves an indelible impression. Olivia’s vocal delivery is uniquely interesting and marked by distinctive slides and twists that make her voice instantly recognisable, a standout feature.

The middle 8 introduces an unexpected yet delightful surprise – an impressive held note… nearly on par with Jeff Buckley’s ‘Hallelujah’ moment… not quite, but nearly! This shows Olivia is an artist not afraid to take risks and push boundaries.
