“WHILE MANY OF OSHEN’S RELEASES, INCLUDING HIS 2019 DEBUT ‘GARDEN WITH LOVE’ AND THIS APRIL’S ‘BORDALONELY’, MAY HAVE ORIGINATED IN THE ARTIST’S CAIRNS BEDROOM, THERE’S NOTHING SLAPDASH ABOUT THEIR CONSTRUCTION.”

“WE FIRST CAME ACROSS JELLY LAST YEAR WHEN WE PREMIERED THE VIDEO FOR HIS SONG “ALL ALONE”, AND I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THAT HE WOULD BE PERFORMING AT BIGSOUND THIS YEAR.
I CAUGHT UP WITH JELLY TO TALK ABOUT HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY, AND WHY AND HOW HE MANAGED LEARNT TO PLAY SO MANY INSTRUMENTS. WE ALSO CHATTED ABOUT THE SONGWRITING PROCESS, AND WHAT PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS HE ENJOYS MOST.”

“THE MULTI-CULTURAL MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST PLAYS A VERY CONTEMPORARY STYLE OF BEDROOM POP, THE TYPE OF BREEZY AND GROOVY STYLE THAT SHOULD MAKE HIM A TRIPLE J FAVOURITE IN YEARS TO COME. THINK RUEL OR REX ORANGE COUNTY AND YOU’LL GET THE IDEA.”

"INDIE BEDROOM-POP ARTIST JELLY OSHEN CONTINUES HIS RICH VEIN OF QUALITY SINGLES WITH HIS LATEST EMOTIVE SALVE, “ALL ALONE”. JELLY HAS AN INTOXICATING CHILLED-OUT R’N’B GROOVE. HE HAS TALENT AND PRODUCTION SKILLS APLENTY, SHOWCASING A CRAZY AMOUNT OF TALENT FOR A TWENTY-YEAR-OLD. “ALL ALONE” HAS A MEGA CHILLED-OUT BLISSFUL VIBE. IT’S A TOTAL EARWORM. THE VIDEO IS GOOD FUN, SHOWING AN EXHAUSTED JELLY DRAGGING HIS CHAIR UP A HILL TO FIND JUST THE RIGHT SPOT TO ENJOY THE SERENITY IN HIS OWN COMPANY. HOW’S THE SERENITY INDEED.

“FROM THE MOMENT, YOU HEAR JELLY OSHEN’S SMOOTH, SOOTHING VOICE, YOU ARE COMPELLED. THE 20-YEAR-OLD AUSTRALIAN SINGER/SONGWRITER JUST RELEASED HIS LATEST SINGLE, “EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY” AND FROM JUST ONE LISTEN IT’S CLEAR WHY HE’S BEEN STREAMING SO WELL. THE FOUR-MINUTE INDIE/R&B TRACK IS A COMPLETE VIBE, CARRIED BY OSHEN’S PLEASANT VOCALS AND LIGHT ELECTRIC GUITAR. “EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY” IS AN EXAMPLE OF A SONG THAT IS TASTEFULLY PRODUCED AND BOUND TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS. GIVE IT A LISTEN TO COMPLIMENT A SUNNY DAY, OR EVEN A RAINY ONE.”

“BORDALONELY IS A TRANQUIL, SUNSHINE-TINGED SLICE OF R&B, LED BY OSHEN'S EFFORTLESS VOCALS, REVERBERATING GUITAR STRUMS AND AIRY PERCUSSION. THE CHORUSES OPEN THE SONG UP WITH WARM GROOVE-LADEN BASS AND ENGROSSING STRINGS BEFORE OSHEN FLAUNTS HIS VERSATILITY WITH HIS ASSURED RAP DELIVERY IN THE TRACK'S SECOND VERSE.”
