Title "track" out now:
Releasing an intro as a pre-release is quite... Odd.

It's nice but yeah, I find it odd releasing an intro/interlude as a pre release.
Love both the song and video! Very cool.
They/them, he/him
There's a bit of a pile on going on for Olly since the their second album. There's been a weird energy on the forum ever since.
Granted, Israel/Eurovision warranted some of the criticism but it seems very odd how most here just come for his every move...
Unless I missed something along the way, it all seems quite... personal.

The harsh tones are tired and cringe. If you're not into what he's doing, maybe take that energy somewhere else.
I think it sounds great and he looks amazing. It would of course be better if it was a fully formed song rather than an intro but I'm looking forward to the album.
This is one of the most balanced threads on here. There is no pile-up going on. It all seems like mild and fair critique.
The new track is cute but I don't see myself going back to it again.

I’m not sure I agree, and respectfully, I'm not doing too much. It seems like gay male pop artists often face more intense criticism here than others. I’m all for critique, but like the mods say, if you don’t like the artist, maybe just skip the conversation. And this is in general for Olly, not specifically this current era.
