Olly Alexander - "Dizzy"

English singer Olly Alexander Thornton of former band Years & Years is set to represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden with his song "Dizzy", which marked his first release under his own name. In an interview with the BBC, he revealed that the song was written in the summer of 2023 and is lyrically about "feeling such an intense swell of emotion for someone they totally turn your world upside down and inside out". The Independent wrote that this is a dance anthem that takes its cues from the Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, and Bronski Beat -whisked up with the ripe diet of Nineties cheese-pop that Olly Alexander grew up on. The Guardian stated that the chorus echoes that of the 1987 single "It's a sin" by the Pet Shop Boys, while also making comparisons to the 1984 single "You spin me round" by Dead or Alive. The Telegraph wrote it's an interesting modern electronic dance pop song, a blend of Balearic beats and sugary sentiments delivering upbeat sentiments with a minor chord melodic tension. Clash described it as a full-blown extravaganza : the singer lives and breathes every word, with the ultra-catchy dose of future-facing pop digitalism leaning on his fantastic vocals. And The Times described it as a super-catchy and hi-energy disco smash that has real innovation in its burbling production. Filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia, the promo video was directed by Colin Solal Cardo.
