So, without further ado, in the 46^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2025), we highlight “Not Important Right?” performed by LUKAS OSCAR.

“You make it look so amazingly easy to love / Like it isn’t that hard for you,” LUKAS OSCAR (Lukas Oscar Janisch) sings in “Not Important Right?” For some, the perception is that love is easy and comes naturally and without fighting, as he sings.  But for him, or who he portrays in this song, love and being comfortable seem like more of a challenge. He adds, “So forgive me for eyeing you / Can’t help but to overanalyze / When their ain’t no doubt I’m tripping but / I still feel afraid.” His authenticity, honesty, and vulnerability are appreciated on the fifth and final track from his 2025 EP, From Under My Bed.

The theme that LUKAS OSCAR conveys is universally relatable. Sure, it is more complicated from a queer perspective (an understatement), but love is easier for some, and more difficult for others. Even as complex as matters of the heart can be, he admits, “Moth drawn to a flame / I keep chasing the light / I switch off my brain / But that’s just normal, right? / That’s not important, right?” Self-conscious, he later sings, “I feel so stupid next to you / To always make a big deal / When my feelings feel so surreal.” Beyond his sincere, transparent emotions, beautiful low-mid register vocals, and relatable songwriting, LUKAS OSCAR impresses with the sound and production. “Not Important Right?” thrives from its minimalism, characterized by a dusty beat, piano arpeggiations, and modest but colorful synths. Vocal layering also enhances the sound.  Hopefully, LUKAS, as well as all of us who struggle with insecurities regarding love, can become comfortable and find peace sans worries.  Another bop from the Filipino Austrian musician 💪.
