Review
"I'm Definitely Talking Too Much," OSTON's album from October 29, 2021, is like a personal journal set to music. Throughout the 11-track journey that lasts 34 minutes, listeners are treated to an honest and engaging dive into OSTON's inner thoughts and storytelling abilities. Kicking things off with "Am I Talking Too Much?," the album grabs you with its relatable subject matter about the worries of saying too much, layered over a backdrop of catchy tunes crafted by producers NYDGE & Drew Polovick.
OSTON's music is grounded in pop, but you can tell she's not just following a formula. She's got a genuine talent for pulling you in with melodies that stick and laying out her feelings in a way that just clicks. It's like she's got this knack for hitting right in the feels with themes of self-doubt and longing for acceptance. On the vocal front, she's mixing it up, giving each song its own vibe—sometimes she's soft and reflective, other times she brings this bold, “hear-me-roar” kind of energy.
Moreover, "I'm Definitely Talking Too Much" is not just another pop record that fades into the background. OSTON takes risks and experiments with her sound, bringing something new to the table and keeping it exciting track after track. The album may lean into pop's familiar territory, but it also steps out with fresh twists that add a unique spark.
To wrap it up, OSTON has dropped a debut that puts her on the map. "I'm Definitely Talking Too Much" is pure pop craftsmanship with enough depth and variety to stand out. If you're all about music that's steeped in personal stories with that sing-along vibe, then you'll want to give this album a spin. - Melody
