The track is the first release from the artist’s upcoming debut album.
Over the last five years or so, UK artist Oska Zaky has been establishing his thoughtful brand of electronic pop, and fleshing out his unique sonic world with a slew of considered and memorable releases.
The latest of which is the new single ‘Plastic’, a melancholy single about feeling lost in a relationship and losing yourself. There is an endearing and vulnerable nature to the sparse instrumental that is anchored around Oska’s guitar, his vocals and some slick, understated beats. ‘Plastic’ is a track that feels captivating throughout, narrative heavy and carrying an intense sense of gravity that grows in disconnect as is develops and becomes more obscured and distorted. There is a lot to unpack here, and the more that you dig in and lose yourself within the track, the more little sonic quirks and clever moments you seem to find. A great release from a talent who seems to be growing in stature and confidence as time goes on.
“I think a lot of people can relate to losing yourself in a relationship especially during those Covid days.” Oska says of the track. “My body & mind fell limp and just went with the flow. I felt like I had no control over what life was doing to me. I couldn’t see a way out”
