OSKA Announces Sophomore Album ‘Refined Believer’ + New Single “With Love, Your Clementine”

Vienna-based indie-pop singer/songwriter OSKA announces her sophomore album, Refined Believer, will be released June 20, 2025. Recorded in London with producer David Kosten (Bat For Lashes, Marina Diamandis), Refined Believer pulls the listener in with OSKA’s whispering soprano and holds them close with intimate melodies that glide from blissful and serene to a purge of catharsis. Pre-save Refined Believer HERE.   

OSKA shares the news with her latest single, “With Love, Your Clementine,” a minimalist ballad where her vulnerable vocal quavers over gentle guitar-work and softly layered backing harmonies. Premiering today with FLOOD, who praised its “wistful” atmosphere, OSKA says: “It’s a reflection on navigating life’s uncertainties and the struggle of needing to be alone to process past experiences. The chorus echoes a reassuring message from my childhood—’have no fear’—a phrase my parents used to tell me. It’s a reminder to hold onto that sense of hope and courage, even when everything feels like it’s falling apart.” “With Love, Your Clementine” is available across DSPs tomorrow, February 14, HERE.  Watch the video + listen now below.

After making waves at SXSW last year, with LUNA Collective calling her “Vienna’s Rising Star” and Indie Shuffle naming her a “best act” and “crowd silencer,” OSKA returned to Europe for headline dates, festival appearances, and four very special nights opening for Coldplay in her home city alongside Maggie Rogers. She teased her forthcoming album throughout 2024 with previous singles including the playful and nostalgic “Forever Blue,” the enchanting  and hopeful “April, May, July” and the melodic and comforting “Like A Song.”  

OSKA’s 2022 debut album, My World, My Love, Paris, features 12 songs that see OSKA weave together tales of her family life and the experience of being a young person growing up in the world. With candor and charm, her authentic self comes through in honest lyricism and tender melodies. The album boasts more than 20 million Spotify streams and received praise from media like Under The Radar (“OSKA has a special talent for bittersweet yearning poeticism”), Atwood (“determined to inspire listeners through poetic verse and beautiful melodies alike”), Clout (“Must-hear pieces of work”), and more. 

Growing up in a small village in Lower Austria, OSKA moved to Vienna at 18 to study her first love; music. She started busking in streets and squares of the capital while also studying pop and jazz singing. Signing to Nettwerk in 2020, OSKA released her debut EP, Honeymoon Phase, the following year to critical acclaim and won a litany of industry recognition, including the XA Music Export Award at Waves Vienna Showcase Festival 2020 and five Amadeus Austrian Music Award nominations between 2021 and 2022. She was also nominated for the Anchor Award at the Reeperbahn Festival in 2021, where she was also discovered by jury member Tom Odell, who invited her to join him on his European tour. In addition to touring with Odell, labelmate Stu Larsen, Matt Simons, and HAEVN, OSKA played the Eurosonic Showcase Festival in 2023, where she won Music Moves Europe Talent Award (previous winners include high-profile names like Rosalía, Dua Lipa, Hozier and Adele).
