Oona has released her debut single, "Flight Risk." An indie-pop, heartfelt confession about wanting to be caught after running, Oona finds herself torn between avoidance and security. A song for fans of Gracie Abrams and Lizzy McAlpine, listeners will find themselves running alongside Oona as she waits to be found. With restlessness communicated by acoustic guitars and Oona's vocal delivery, there's a chance the tension between wanting to run and wanting to be followed might just find it's peak with this release. "Flight Risk" finds itself at the heart of avoidant tendencies, with nothing left out of this confession.
"Flight Risk" as a debut single introduces listeners to Oona as both a soft-hearted singer and a songwriter who strives to leave no detail untouched. In other words, this debut was a hit. "Flight Risk" finds itself to be self-aware and full of sunlight, a balance that is hard to strike. Yet, Oona does it. A certain magic finds itself in Oona's songwriting, whether it'd be like flipping through a diary or old photos from growing up, the nostalgia sparked by "Flight Risk" warrants a golden hour drive, much like the love of the chase that Oona describes within the song. While it may only be her debut, Oona finds herself in a chase for a bigger discography, with "Flight Risk" being the perfect first run.
Oona is an American singer-songwriter. Born on the East Coast, Oona found herself surrounded by music from a young age, first learning to play piano before crafting melodies and lyrics when she was six years old. With experience studying at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, Oona's songwriting abilities are both intimate while expansive, capturing audiences with different preferences. While this may be the first chapter of Oona's career, more is to come as her career grows and flourishes over time.
