Wasting no time in making sure this is HER year, Olivia Miceli is back with her first song of 2025! ‘Click’ – released on the 10th of January – combines indie rock with dark pop in a clever dissection of our generation’s toxic relationship with social media.
Far more satisfying than the instant gratification we crave from our phones, ‘Click’ is full of rewards for the listener throughout the song. Olivia’s vocal performance is captivating and expressive, backed by incredibly catchy instrumentation led by a striking guitar. Listening to this song feels like being on a rollercoaster, with each razor-sharp verse keeping you glued to your seat before each chorus sends you soaring with its climbing instrumentals and satisfying climaxes.
Entirely written, recorded and produced from her bedroom, this song packs a punch while still delivering an intimate DIY charm. Her influence from the likes of Lily Allen and Olivia Rodrigo are crystal clear in both her clever lyricism and expressive performance, combining brutal honesty with an incredibly catchy and nostalgic sound. But ‘Click’ also reveals a new facet to her song writing, as Olivia Miceli carefully blends her distinct pop sound with this new indie-rock dimension. It’s a little rough around the edges in the best way possible, showcasing authenticity in a world of heavy face-tuning and parasocial toxicity. As we long for meaningful connection amongst the endless likes and follows, ‘Click’ gives us exactly what we need – it’s real and it’s human.
With ‘Click’, Olivia Miceli has created an anthem of the digital age. Its cutting, self-aware lyrics are matched with a fun, upbeat sound that remains firmly in reality but also far away from doom and gloom. This is an artist born for writing and performing, and I cannot wait to see where her infectious energy and fearless lyrics take her next!
