In The Spotlight

Oscar LaDell – “Tell Me True”

Born in the USA, raised in New Zealand and based in Australia, this singer-songwriter grew up in an artistic household, thanks to a poet mum and a musician dad. He immersed himself in his parents’ vinyl collection of 60’s/70’s blues, soul and folk, and at 17 ventured onto the stage at local bars. Since then he’s played festivals like Queenscliff and venues such as Yoshi’s and Biscuits & Blues. Inspired by Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke and Michael Kiwanuka, he debuted with “Loving You” in 2021.

Exploring the rough, emotional fallout that follows a painful breakup, his new single is about dealing with unresolved questions and eventual acceptance. Lyrically constructed as a last conversation with an ex-lover, the song is a vintage blend of blues and soul. With a layered rhythm section, acoustic guitars, and nostalgic keys giving the melody a welcoming warmth, it’s the grit in his soul-drenched vocals that infuses this organic, bittersweet groove with a dose of sentimentality.

NAO – “Fly Away”

Nottingham-born and London-based, this British singer-songwriter grew up in a multi-cultural household of Jamaican, Vincentian and Grenadinian roots. Raised on music ranging from 90s R&B and Garage to classic soul, she began playing the piano early on. As a teenager, she studied vocal jazz at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. She’s played festivals like Glastonbury and Latitude. Inspired by Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Aaliyah, she debuted with her EP “So Good” in 2014.

Lyrically about escaping the seasonal blues to find emotional and literal warmth with a loved one, her new single captures the desire to leave the autumn cold behind and chase the sun. Taken from her recently released album “Autumn”, this song is rooted in an organic jazz-soul vibe. With a plush rhythm, fiery saxophone and sparkling synths creating a rich melody, it’s her silken vocals with her signature falsetto, that blend a sense of vulnerability with a touch of playfulness.
