Swedish artist OBBA is back with his second single, "Last Leaf", released on January 31th. The song is a result of another collaboration with producer Perry Leenhouts, who runs the studio Point Break Sound in San Diego. Perry Leenhouts, who also produced OBBA’s debut single "Kiss Me Black", continues to evolve OBBA’s music, by blending OBBA's raw, emotional delivery with his own innovative production. This creates music both honest and powerful.
"Last Leaf" is a song that offers an interesting musical exploration by finding a perfect balance between shoegaze and pop, all translated through a punk experience. The result is a work with the depth and sensitivity needed to connect with listeners, thanks to an expressive, deep and engaging vocal that guides the track's narrative.
Meanwhile, the musical accompaniment develops the density, strength and energy characteristic of shoegaze, creating a base dynamic enough to catch the listeners' attention and keep them hypnotized within this musical universe. “Last Leaf” is a proposal full of authenticity and that punk ‘dirt’ that gives it a unique character, fusing styles in a bold and emotionally resonant way.
In OBBA’s own words “'Last Leaf' is about the despair and longing that arise when you lose someone very close to you."
The personal lyrics, combined with Leenhouts' production, lend an honesty and power to the music. With "Last Leaf," OBBA delivers immediate pop music with an elegant and cool sound that stands out. With "Last Leaf", OBBA makes music that touches and stands out, while he continues to build his own unique place within the Swedish as well as the international music scene.
