After a short break from releasing music, young Norwegian Jakob Ogawa has returned with a new look but the same, unique sound that we came to know and love through songs like ‘All Your Love’, ‘Let It Pass’ and ‘You Might Be Sleeping’. It’s those same effervescent textures, unusual-but-enticing vocal and warm psychedelic undertones that you’ll hear in new single ‘Velvet Light’. However, it’s undoubtedly a bolder take from Ogawa. As the Scandinavian croons “you mesmerise me daily,” you’ll feel yourself falling into an amorous hypnosis of wooze and psychedelia. - Hannah Thacker
