Silly Really is a pop song by Swedish singer and composer Per Gessle from his forthcoming album Party Crasher. It was released as the lead single from the album on October 29, 2008.[1] The song premiered at the Swedish radio-show Morronzoo, in the morning of October 24.[2]
Critical reception
Expressen's Andreas Nunstedt called Per Gessle "a pop genius" and described the song as a "happy love story where disco meets synthpop".[3] Håkan Steen from Aftonbladet describes "Silly Really" in a similar way ("a beat that feels like Blondie in a disco mood"). Even if "the single may not sound that modern", he said the song is a sure hit for the Swedish radio.[4]
