The artist is at her unflinching best on this towering anthem.

The first thing that is immediately noticable about Olivia Swann‘s sound is the sheer array of colourful sounds and shapes that are formed within its soundscape. While her energetic and lively vocal performances take center-stage, the playful synth patterns and off-kilter, infectious organs and beats cultivate something that feels truly unlike anything else.

Narratively however, the track is anything but playful. Olivia is at her acerbic and uncompromising best, creating a huge, emphatic fuck you people who see fit to harass and speak down to women, and provides them with a brutal dressing down in the process.

‘No Thanks’ is a triumph and possibly serves as the artist’s most realised and rounded example of her sound and her vibe that has come to date. The track is dripping with authenticity, huge catchy moments, a badass cutting edge, and an impossible sense of both danger and fun.

“This is definitely an anthem for all of us, to remind us all that we are in control, we have a choice when it comes to these types of situations.” Olivia says of the track. “I honestly hope that through this song, it brings us together even more, realising we have to look out for each other & remember to include our entire community”.
