New summer soundtrack just dropped courtesy of Oscar Lang and Wallice. Dropping into an instantly catchy beat with low-key vocals and high-chill lyricism - everything about it feels like a cool summer all wrapped up in a sweet little track.

As the first taste of new music since his highly acclaimed debut last summer, Oscar Lang is back with his signature sound, craving out space between the circles of electro, alt-pop and indie. Merging a hundred different influences to create something unmistakably his, Wallice’s LA native vocals blend in perfectly.

Singing about bad traffic and stardom, the track is a silly take on the belief that LA is where everyone has to come to make it, that american dream sounds sweet here. Talking about the track, Oscar said: “‘I’ve Never Been To L.A.’ is an anthem for all those people that have only ever seen sunny Los Angeles through the eyes of Hollywood. An imaginary world where you get to hold your hands in the air while cruising down the freeway soaking up American hyper-consumerism. Being an L.A. native and me being a huge fan of hers I thought it was only right to ask Wallice to hop on the track and come at it from the American perspective.”

‘I’ve Never Been To LA’ is out now
