A dreamy pop delight from Otlo, “Sweet Nothings” rides on a mellow assortment of colorful synths, bass-y bounces, and eventual guitar twangs — delivering a breezy relief in the final minute. The vocals are clearly smitten, exuding lyrics like “I don’t want to think about my life without you,” alongside the lovely, effervescent yet laid-back aesthetical glow.
Otlo is the moniker of artist Preston Bearden, crafting this sort of stellar bedroom-pop since 2022. He’s also active live, performing around the Nashville area.
