OTLO – “DAISY”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Today, fresh-faced bedroom pop crooner Preston Bearden, better known as Otlo, releases his charming new single “Daisy,” showcasing the indie-pop wunderkind at his dreamy, romantic best.
Off the heels of his viral hit “But A Dream,” from debut album Woozy, and “Sweet Nothings,” his 2024 dreamy lo-fi anthem of young love, Otlo delivers his most imaginative single to date in “Daisy.” Drawing from his background in both indie-rock and retro video game culture, the Tennessee based singer-songwriter blends classic songwriting with beautifully nostalgic productions.
“Daisy” is a kaleidoscopic mashup of styles, incorporating sunny indie-pop, 80’s drum-machines, and delightfully lo-fi slacker charm. Otlo’s voice is sweet and longing, bringing his fantasy to life over colorful chord changes and obsessively detailed production. Using the motif of a fictional girlfriend to muse on his innate need for love and understanding, “Daisy” is a surprisingly touching song that will linger in listeners’ minds for days.
It’s the most stirring single yet from Nashville’s hidden gem, poised to burst out of the underground at any moment.
