8/10

Ever since he first emerged with his breakthrough debut EP 'Teenage Hurt' back in 2018, London's Oscar Lang has been seen as one of the more innovative names on the new music scene. Not one to keep his progressive nature to himself, he regularly adds his influence and songwriting prowess to others in his field, giving him this wildly diverse nature that bubbles with fresh and enticing ideas. And after a few months of buzz behind his recent efforts, he now returns to deliver his latest studio album 'Look Now', a record that keeps that adventurous invention alive once again.

Throughout this new outing, we hear Lang in one of his most ambitious and confident guises to date. From the very start, 'Look Now' looks to set him on this wonderfully broad and expansive sound that sees him push his creative pursuit as far as it will go. Dabbling in some beautifully arranged production that heightens his euphoric songwriting throughout, he has returned with not only a stunning batch of new material, but something that sees him set himself apart from almost everything else going on right now.

Oscar Lang has always been someone at the forefront of new and fascinating pop music, and 'Look Now' is just another prime example of his engaging spirit so far. With a bright and infectious aura running the length of this new LP, you'll find yourself struggling not to swept up by it all.
