Austrian Indie Pop Singer-Songwriter OSKA Shares Intimate Acoustic Version Of “Hallucinating (It’s Normal To Shiver)”
Indie-pop singer/songwriter OSKA returns with “Hallucinating (It’s Normal To Shiver),” a live recording of the moving song from her acclaimed debut album, My World, My Love, Paris, which was released earlier this year. The Vienna-based artist loved the process of recording strings for the album version so much, that she invited those players back into the studio for a special live session.
“Hallucinating” is a very personal song to OSKA, who says, “Ten years ago I had an accident. A surfboard ‘surfed’ into my face, and I hallucinated, which was a cool experience I have to say, but it has also kind of haunted me for years and left me with a scar on my cheek. This song is about that experience, and about the fear of, at some point, becoming paranoid because of it.”
Live off the floor, the new recording brings forth the emotive and delicate qualities of her songwriting, as her stunning vocals are ushered forward alongside a string section and acoustic guitar.
