Oscar Utterstörm has a distinct way of composing. He is detail oriented, a lover of simplicity, and an elegant storyteller. All of these qualities flow into his soundscapes, carrying them into beautiful moments of listening. When you listen to his music, you’ll always be affected by it. In his ‘The Big Picture’ album, the artist creates theatrical musical scenes with each song, introducing mellow stimuli and progressing planes through it. It is a wonderful collection. Stylistically it sports an expansive blend of neo-classicals. But he infuses it with moods, whimsy, and quirks. 

The track, ‘Forward’ introduces the album. It is composed with undulating ripples of melody. He uses trombone tails to set the tone, reset the mood and the theme. The vocals are transparent leaves of emotion, simple and straightforward as they weave through the breeze of the instrumentals. 

If you imagine the soundscape as a season, it would be the budding spring, with soft leaves floating around, melodies softly blooming and a delightful warmth that is slowly consuming the song. It makes for the perfect backdrop for the theme. The artist explores the quiet space that exists between heartache and healing. The nights can be quite difficult to live through, but the mellow optimism of the soundscape showcases a will to heal, and keep moving forward. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
