Oston

If you’re even remotely interested in pop music, get Oston on your radar. Not only does her music feature catchy pop lyrics infused with R&B and synth beats, but the Park City, Utah native's lyrics are the perfect combination of simple, refined and straight to the point. Good pop music tells a story with the lyrics without giving away any sort of depth to the storytelling, and that’s a quality of songwriting I am drawn to the most. Not only is Oston only 22-years-old, but she’s releasing all of her music independently, giving her story a sense of freedom and authority that lots of artists her age can struggle with in this day and age. Plus, she’s based in Chicago! I always want to show the local artists some love on the blog when I can.
