Part epic, part psychodrama, part vampire gothic horror... The only word that can be found to sum up Olivia Rodrigo's first single of 2023 would be... Immense.
Ostensibly a stream of conscious rant about a toxic relationship, the song mines the imagery of the vampire novel, meaning we have the joy of Rodrigo rhyming 'Blood sucker' with 'Fame fucker' plus enough musical high drama to conjure up memories of Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell.
It's possibly one of the weirdest number one singles there's been this year, and is definitely one of those songs where you feel like you need to sit down for a bit afterwards and just, calm, down.
A tremendous tour de force.
