Samuel Oscar Drops Phenomenal New Track “Where’s My Love Gonna Go?”
Born in Iceland with Thai ethnicity and based in the UK, Samuel Oscar is a fast-rising singer-songwriter. He burst on the scene in 2020 and has already accumulated over 14 million streams on YouTube alone, and he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. Keen to continue his momentum and kickstart the year on a high, Samuel has just unveiled his remarkable new single, “Where’s My Love Gonna Go”.
A multi-instrumentalist who plays drums, piano, guitar, bass and the ukulele, Samuel’s productions are always special, and such is the case with “Where’s My Love Gonna Go”. The track is absolutely breathtaking and immediately draws you in with Samuel’s soothing vocals alongside the subtle production, which begins with guitar and builds gradually throughout. Lyrically, it’s a break-up song that hears him get candid about losing someone special.
Elaborating further, Samuel says, “I wanted to write a break-up song, as I was in a sad place in my relationship and thinking it was coming to an end. This song felt like preparation for how I would feel if my girlfriend and I broke up – how lost I would feel and how much I wouldn’t know how to love someone as much as I love her. I would just have to live with loving her, without her, eternally.” “Where’s My Love Gonna Go” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/wmlgg.
Keep up to date with the latest from Samuel Oscar:
Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
