Although he’s merely 18 years old and only has a handful of singles to his name, Oscar Welsh is most certainly a newcomer well worth your time. The writer and producer of everything he releases, this rising indie pop artist crafts his stunning discography straight out of his Suffolk bedroom. As the seasons change and weather turns, Welsh offers some enlightenment with his moody new single, “S.A.D.”
