BACKGROUND

The musical offspring of a Beck, Post Malone and Twenty One Pilots mรฉnage ร  trois

A recent Los Angeles transplant from the city of Boston, AOโ€™s music has been described by critics as โ€œcaptivating and insanely funโ€ and โ€œthe perfect soundtrack for our troubled timesโ€. Drawing on musical influences from pop, rock, hip hop and folk music, Almost Owenโ€™s powerhouse performances have lit up stages from India to Italy, festivals from Panama to Paris, and events for the United Nations Correspondentsโ€™ Association and the Human Rights Campaign in the US.

His music has garnered millions of streams across streaming platforms, support from IHeartRadio syndicates and placements in motion pictures and on television. In 2022, Almost Owen is setting his sights on the possibilities of web 3 to nurture a likeminded community of artists and fans and enhance connection through digital ownership.

 

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


SLEEPINGBAGSTUDIOS: SUMMER JUST GOT A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT HOTTER!

Almost Owen has got himself a single thatโ€™s bound to scorch up the playlists & charts out there this season โ€“ โ€œWe Out Hereโ€ is two-minutes & six-seconds of pure fun in the sunโ€ฆ [Almost Owen is] an artist with the talent & personality required to reach the people and truly succeed out there in the land of all-things-music.

URANIUMWAVES: ALMOST OWEN RETURNS WITH A SPARKLING SINGLE โ€œWE OUT HEREโ€

Cheerful, groovy and filled with colorsโ€ฆ We Out Here is the perfect vibe to cancel all your worries and put you back in good moodโ€ฆ Itโ€™s the type of song that you hear on the radio and start bumping your head to โ€” without even realizing โ€” because itโ€™s just that catchy.

STEREO STICKMAN: ALMOST OWENโ€™S BLINK-AND-YOU-MISS-IT POP NUGGET IS THE PERFECT SOUNDTRACK FOR OUR TROUBLED TIMES

An urban hymn to income inequality railing against the aspirational lifestyle we have rammed down our throats by the mediaโ€ฆ [We Out Here] skewers contemporary mores in an economical manner, which simultaneously delivers big pop hooks yet also resonates with our sensibilities.


STEREO STICKMAN: โ€œONE LUCKY MANโ€ WILL LEAVE YOU HUMMINGโ€ฆ

Songwriter and artist Almost Owen pays tribute and appreciation to lasting friendships. For those with a love for pop-rock anthems and uplifting music, One Lucky Man is a must. For those new to Almost Owenโ€™s music, it makes for the perfect introduction to an artist with a heartfelt and passionate approach to writing and performance;

CHILLFILTR: ONE LUCKY MAN IS HERE TO HELP YOU UNLOCK THE TRUE YOUโ€ฆ

With a raspy tenor lead-vocal that reminds us a bit of John Mayerโ€ฆ Almost Owen is back with new single One Lucky Man, celebrating the power of friendship and the simple luxury of being accepted as you are. This powerful and groove-forward mix is here to help unlock the true you.

ESSENTIALLY POP: ALMOST OWEN ISNโ€™T JUST ALMOSTโ€ฆ

Describing the track as โ€œa playful ode to the friends we spend our best moments with โ€” the ones who also see us at our worstโ€, Almost Owenโ€™s โ€˜One Lucky Manโ€™ is an upbeat dance-worthy bop of a track, which takes sonic inspiration from pop, funk, soul, and disco, with added EDM elements. Itโ€™s a truly cross-genre track, with Almost Owenโ€™s lead supported by a groovy backing vocal sounding for all the world like The Drifters.


MUSICISMYRADAR: THESE SONGS LEFT ME UTTERLY SPEECHLESSโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve listened to this sumptuous single multiple times and itโ€™s a literal slice of synth pop bliss. Everything about this wondrous ballad is spot on. The vocals are buttery smooth whilst the whimsical words are heart warming. All in all, this number never fails to put a smile on my faceโ€ฆ I was hooked from the very first listen.

LEFUTUREWAVE: A PERFECT TRACK

Almost Owen is back with his new masterpiece One in a Million. [It] has an innovative soundโ€ฆ catchy vibes - you will sing along in no time. One in a Million is a fantastic trackโ€ฆ be sure to stream it as soon as possible.

THE MUSIC BELOW: ANOTHER HIT FOR ALMOST OWEN

Almost Owen returns with yet another bop called One in a Million. [itโ€™s] an intimate love song about two lovers who enjoy each other and just let the world fall away. Letโ€™s keep good music coming.


FUZZABLE: MESMERIZING AND IRRESISTABLE

Something In You is folk-pop at its finestโ€ฆ a warm, yet haunting acoustic record which talks about the difficulties of letting go. It pays homage to John Mayerโ€™s Continuum days, as well as the lyricism and self-awareness of Paul Simon at his bestโ€ฆ

ELECTROWOW: ALMOST OWEN PROVES HE IS A SONGWRITING GENIUS

Sonically smooth and pleasingโ€ฆ [Something in You] will make you think about life [and] what is behind happy facesโ€ฆ. Problems can be easily masked and sometimes courage is needed in order to face them. No other artist I have heard has explored this duality

THE MUSIC BELOW: THIS JOHN MAYER-ESQUE POP SONG IS BOUND TO HIT YOU RIGHT IN THE FEELS

The vibe here is soft, slightly upbeat, and has a sense of longing. Still thereโ€™s a soothing aspect to this longingโ€ฆ Weโ€™re getting to hear a different side and the versatility of AOโ€˜s sound and Iโ€™m excited to see what is yet to come.


THE MUSIC BELOW: โ€˜2020 HEARTBREAKโ€™ CAPTURES HOW WE ALL FEELโ€ฆ

With an upbeat atmosphereโ€ฆ "โ€˜2020 Heartbreakโ€™ is poised to do exceptionally well. AO always brings the heat and has a great feel for creating music that we all need. โ€˜2020 Heartbreakโ€˜ is no exception.

OCCHI MAGAZINE: A HIGH KEY FUCK YOU TO THE YEAR THAT WAS 2020

Featuring one of Almost Owenโ€™s most aggressive and outrageous vocal performances yet, he sings a humorous eulogy for an awful epoch. 2020 Heartbreak is ultimately about resilience in the face of so much American carnage, and the dubious hope that the years to come will be better.

THOMATHY ENTERTAINMENT: I LOVE THIS SONG

[this] rock and hip-hop-infused pop single is a big middle finger to the year 2020. Almost Owen has taken a bad year and made an incredible song out of it!


WEARESENSAI: A SUN-DRENCHED TRACK TO HELP GET YOUR HEAD RIGHTโ€ฆ

โ€˜State of Mindโ€™ gives off all the positive vibes we could ask for. AO cheerfully satirizes the world and his own place in it. The result is irresistible, and liable to have you hitting the listen-on-repeat button. So, go show some love by adding it to your favorite playlists to keep it in your audio rotation.

DIGITAL HIGH: AN ENGROSSING AMALGAM OF SOUND AND SUBSTANCE

Groove along with L.A. based vocalist/producer Almost Owen as he sets a big mood on his latest โ€œState of Mind.โ€ A rumination on 2021 living, the pop bop brings those SoCal rhythms and a breezy melody together for the soloist to properly reflect on the current climate.

BILLCSMUSIC: ALMOST OWEN RETURNS WITH A POST-PANDEMIC ANTHEM

โ€œState of Mindโ€ is a refreshing and joyous anthem that he wrote as a way to break out of the pandemic rut that weโ€™ve all experienced.
