That set of songs is headed up by first single Moves, a surefire cert to join the pantheon of Olly’s best loved songs. “And the other album is songs only I know,” beams Olly. One album features a run of Olly’s biggest singles, 12 bangers that, over the last decade, have helped propel the Essex machine to record sales of over 25 million – songs that, well, you know. It’s a double-disc triumph, a two-pronged statement of intent. And it’s also down to a desire to mark his tenth year in the industry in an innovative and creative way – and to reintroduce his real self.Īs he puts it: “I needed to find happiness again. It’s a reboot he partly attributes to working on The Voice, a hugely enjoyable experience that re-energised his enthusiasm for the crafts of performance and music making.
