Otys' New Lush Pop Single "Seasons" Represents Long Distance Love And The Anticipation Of What's Next

Otys’ New Lush Pop Single “Seasons” Represents Long Distance Love And The Anticipation Of What’s Next

Otys is a silky smooth pop vocalist that’s been calling Seattle his home for the last five years. The Nebraska-native just gave us something to chew on while we face the effects of difficult times. In the wake of COVID-19 and the horrendously unjust death of George Floyd, the world is in a state of revolution and turmoil. Otys has put out his track “Seasons” featuring Canadian vocalist Terra Zoutman. The sweeping yet driving production from San Antonio-based producer AD Labs really makes this track soar. Otys announced that 100% of the single purchases will go to the Northwest Community Bail Fund.

Otys left Seattle three months ago to quarantine with his family in Nebraska. During this time he didn’t know when he’d be able to come back to the city. Seasons went by and he felt the strong desire to be back in the music scene, outdoors, and spirit of Seattle. He’s proudly on his way back now. This song is the perfect soundtrack to yearning for someone to be boo’d up with and missing familiar spaces. The song details a long-distance relationship that Otys began as he left to quarantine with his family. Listening through, it’s dripping with emotion and palpable tension between the two vocalists as they exchange verses to enact his theme.

Otys & AD Labs

Otys has been working to build his catalog steadily through collaborations with other vocalists and producers. Some of the other talented producers he’s worked with include Joza, G3L, Natural, and Jake Crocker (new mix coming soon.) The quarantine love story he’s given us with “Seasons” is brought to life substantially by the production on behalf of AD Labs. It has a driving yet ethereal quality to it that keeps my head nodding and the mood set on high.

The track comes in on a somber guitar lick as Otys enters, gliding in on an indie rock-inspired melody as the kick and snare come in. Terra slides in with descending melodies and breathy delivery as heavy reverb from the instrumental creates a swirl of pleasant textures. They join on two-part harmonies to create incredible tension as the arpeggiated guitar spaces you out and subtle electronic elements and fuzzy bass wander in. Listen below and fall in love even from a distance and have hope for what’s next.
