“You show up unannounced at night / That creepy hour between 3 and 5.” So, LUKAS OSCAR (Lukas Oscar Janisch), this nameless person arrives at an unholy hour? Hmm, I have so many questions.  There seems to be an ‘intimate encounter’ in “So Romantic U + I”. Oscar continues singing in the brief, sub-two-minute song, “Then you blind the room in sequins / Plastic pupils in your plastic eyes.” Intriguing, thought-provoking lyrics. Sequins are obnoxiously bright and eye-catching.  Are they so bright that they have created googly eyes (plastic pupils and plastic eyes)? The Gen-Z Filipino Austrian musician penned and produced this romantic indie pop joint.

“And it’s so romantic you and I

And that one guy that’s watching from outside

We’re one big family

One home…”

Again, the lyrics are thought-provoking. Later, OSCAR requests, “Cut the lights,” adding some odd, open-to-interpretation lyrics: “Mh mh cut the l1ghts c0ldled fe1n r1gh / G0t the l1ghts fu0 me c1t1 r1ght.” Say what, now?! It sounds sexual… Supporting this intimate experience with this nameless person is a great production. “So Romantic U + I” features an awesome groove – a dusty, soulful hip-hop beat. Besides the beat, superb music cues include low-key synths and pads.  They sound intimate as well.  Also, ‘low-key’ are Oscar’s vocals.  They sound chill and laid-back.  He is expressive yet manages to sound both indulgent and nonchalant simultaneously.  The melodies are tuneful even when Lukas drops the less decipherable lyrics.  There have been far naughtier sex songs, but “So Romantic U + I” feels sexy without being explicit or overt.
