Furiously upbeat and radiantly optimistic, Robert O’Connor’s delightful electronic pop anthem ‘One Way Ticket’ is a rave piece to enjoy. It’s loaded with energy, relentless in its pace and rhythm to the point where you’re entirely enthralled and transfixed to the emotion and beat of it all. The boisterous pop banger is about the panic we feel as we approach our thirties, that rising sense of anxieties over the importance of each decision we make. As mortality and legacy start to sink in, how we choose to make decisions start to weigh on us even more. That notion of a ‘one way ticket’ is the central ethos of it all, going all in for a decision that could make or break everything.
But, rather than approach it with a glass half-empty attitude, Robert O’Connor’s ‘One Way Ticket’ is defiantly optimistic and up tempo. You feel empowered to take your decisions, completely ready to make the most of it all.
