We are delighted to finally share some news about new Sdban Ultra artist Orson Claeys. Orson just released his debut single 'Primrose,' today, which serves a prelude to his anticipated debut EP, "Odyssey To Self."
'Primrose' is more than just a song; it's a heartfelt tribute filled with personal significance: "The primrose, a rare and delicate flower, doesn’t bloom just anywhere. By a stroke of luck, however, this beautiful flower chose my mother’s garden to flourish in. She told me that the primrose symbolizes hope and renewal. This song is about finding new hope and learning to accept and embrace change. Dedicated to my mother, it celebrates the unconditional love, devotion, support, trust, and courage that mothers give to their children."
After being featured on the third installment of the 'Lefto presents Jazz Cats' compilations with his track 'Conversations', Orson Claeys is set to release his 5-track debut EP 'Odyssey to Self' on Sdban Ultra later this year. It's a deep dive into Claeys' own life, honestly sharing his path through major changes. The music takes cues from the rich sounds of the Middle East, influenced by artists like Dhafer Youssef and Anouar Brahem, aiming to blend these diverse musical influences into one cohesive sound.
Primrose is out today, 21 June 2024.
EP "Odyssey to Self" is coming 27 September 2024, pre-order now via the Sdban Bandcamp.
