The head of music for londonfm.digital said he loved the melodic new single ‘Being Blue‘ from Osca Hao with it’s super melodic Indie rock production, soaring vocals, crashing drums and incredible Indie screeching guitar work. The single is now on the daily playlist and will be played 2-3 times a day in general rotation + as a powerplay at 4:15 pm UK time daily for a month or more.
Osca Hao started with guitar, saxophone and the drum-kit at 11 years old, whilst attending King Edward VI school. The British-born musician felt that no individual instrument has any sort of superiority, which led to him to an interest in the Soundtrack genre. Here, he is able to fuse an array of themes in his artwork, such as the Western Classical Era, the technological revolution and Asian sentiment. His music initially was regarded as being part of the New Wave Instrumental genre, but his releases “Being Blue” and “Something To Smile About” show the need to break free from categorisations – something he believes soundtracks teach us all. Heavily influenced by British Rock, Hip-hop, EDM and Carnatic music throughout the years, it is unclear if this, clearly abstract, musical illustration will ever come to rest. His philosophical overtones are entirely captured in the quote:
“Without music, life would be a mistake.” – Friedrich Nietzsche, (Twilight of the Idols).
