Oslo Green is a master of many talents. He’s not only a singer, songwriter, producer and violinist, but also a co-founder of creative collective NYADO.
‘MaYbe’ caught our attention this week for its refreshingly original sound. The track, which features vocals from Adina Shine, serves as an introduction to Oslo’s new album, ‘No Strings Attached’ (listen here), and presents listeners with a beautifully balanced fusion of alternative R&B, hip hop, and pop.
On top of that, we’re also treated to some strings that give the track a sense of soulful nostalgia that is mesmerising to experience. Elaborating on the album’s concept, Oslo Green says:
“‘No Strings Attached’ – a promise I clearly couldn’t keep – both in relationships but also when it comes to the amount of strings I recorded for this album. This album covers a few good years of travelling around the globe – following relationships, music and big dreams. Growing up as a classical violinist, I could never imagine that one day I would put together something like this. While listening you might notice many flavors and languages. Writing and producing this album on the go, I blended in what I picked up from different places – NYC, Nairobi, Milan, Tel Aviv, Berlin, London and more.”
The album follows on from Oslo’s well-received debut EP ‘The Oslo Green Express’, which featured an equally eclectic style of sound. You can explore more of the artist’s work on Spotify here.
