Sweet Isolation

South London singer and guitarist Oscar Jerome returns with his new single, Sweet Isolation ahead of his headline Peckham Audio show next month. Written by Oscar and produced by long term collaborator Beni Giles, his dulcet vocals are draped in luscious saxophone from Kaidi Akinnibi - who's previously collaborated with Tom Misch & Blue Lab Beats - taking us deep into his musical universe.

The video introduces us to some of Oscar’s mischievous and chaotic personas, with a backdrop of striking Icelandic landscapes filmed by his brother Alfie Laurence and Mathias Gontard. An anchor within the London Jazz scene, Oscar’s highly anticipated return reflects a new era of his ever-evolving artistry exploring themes of masculinity, melancholy, insecurities and everything in between.   

“This track and visual is an exploration into the beauty in melancholy. The first character you encounter is Jerry, back in an easier time. He is happy but somewhat deluded, a warped idolisation of what was. The second character, Ice Guycicle, reflects the art that grows out of deep emotion and the pain experienced on the path to transformation. He could be a real person searching for answers on an alien planet or he could be a thought walking through the barren landscape of your mind.”
