My Take
Olly is the kind of artist I quietly root for. Rising from Sanremo Giovani in 2022 to actually winning the Sanremo Music Festival in 2025 with "Balorda nostalgia" is no small arc, especially for someone who came up through rap before settling into mainstream songwriting. What draws me in is the willingness to lean straight into nostalgia rather than chase trends. There's something of Genoa's salt-air melancholy in that choice. He still feels early in his trajectory, and I find that genuinely exciting. I'll be watching where this Ligurian voice goes next.
