Sometimes, music that makes the least noise is the music that grabs your attention the fastest. In a world that's getting more raucous, chaotic and loud with each passing day, it's those quiet moments in which we get to breathe that reinvigorate and refresh us. That's exactly the impact OSCAR OSCAR's latest offering, 'Yuika', has, complete with crisp production and incredible precision.
When 'Yuika' opens, it's so quiet that you bring yourself to listen harder. Pulling you in with those subtle synths and snaps, the breathy vocals wrap tight around you as Oscar Oscar's voice seals the deal. It's a stunning introduction to the song as he never shows hesitation about creating a song that doesn't have a climax or catharsis like so much of modern music.
The song builds from the ground up, with Oscar Oscar intermittently adding layer after layer demanding respect and appreciation for every single minute detail of this gorgeous track. The attention to detail is so impressive that, before you know it, the song is over. The most beautiful thing about 'Yuika' is its refreshing take on songwriting - it plays as an ode to the craft as opposed to the end result. It's almost as if we're listening to Oscar Oscar create this song in realtime, and the authenticity that shines through because of that is impossible to ignore.
'Yuika' is an understated and refined track that really shines a spotlight on Oscar Oscar's dedication to his art. It's a song that really doesn't go anywhere but the best part is that it doesn't need to. Where most other artists' renditions would feel incomplete, Oscar Oscar has ensured that this song, in three minutes, takes you on a sonic journey without really moving at all.
