OSCAR WELSH SIXTEEN

18-year-old newcomer Oscar Welsh has already begun to turn heads despite only having a handful of tracks to his name. ‘Sixteen’ is his latest effort, a dreamy track that blends modern production values with smooth guitar lines and a bouncy vocal performance. Despite the energetic start to the track, Welsh isn’t afraid to delve into more introspective, dreamy moments throughout ‘Sixteen’. He explains that the track is “about a tense relationship which lasted from early teens to adulthood. I guess it just illustrates the frustration an individual has when an admirer doesn’t know when to stop chasing”. He takes influence from all angles, whether its Stevie Wonder or JPEGMafia and this eclectic mix shows itself in his impossible to pinpoint songwriting. Be on the lookout for his upcoming EP, Vernal.Dan Peeke
