We get easily obsessed with artists and songs that ignite nostalgia within us. And Otto Aday has sparked that in us today with his new single, ‘Star Crossed Lovers.’ And you want to know the best bit? This addictive new track also comes with the announcement that Otto Aday will be releasing his debut album, Persona, on October 6th!
Hailing from the small town of Ferndale in South Wales, Otto Aday has boomed into our view with this latest release, and we could not be happier. ‘Star Crossed Lovers’ is an infectious song that takes us on the most cinematic journey that could spark joy even in the most drearier of days. Otto Aday took inspiration from a real encounter for ‘Star Crossed Lovers,’ and it all started when he was dressed up as the legendary Charlie Chaplin for Halloween.
On Halloween, I went to York dressed as Charlie Chaplin. I was in a hostel, and this young American lady came down the staircase and said, “Oh my God, I love Charlie Chaplin!” It turned out she had travelled to England for a screenwriting internship. We hit it off from the word go and went on an adventure across the UK. We stumbled across an old cathedral and I whisked her away to a fantasy-like village where every house is a bookstore. The moments we spent felt timeless and suspended in midair, maybe that’s why I liken her to the stars. It blossomed into a beautiful friendship; I definitely love her in some sense. I’m immortalizing the relationship in the song.
