Tobi Lou struggles to hold back tears on his new single “2Hrs.” The emerging Chicago presaged his long-awaited album Parrish Blue with a dazzling video for its melancholy single on Friday, visually representing the metaphorical expressions of his pain with a bold color scheme and a hypnotic video full of floating jellyfish. The reflective video is directed by Tobi Lou himself along with his frequent collaborator Glassface.

Tobi had a relatively quiet 2020, pushing back the release of Parrish Blue to 2021, but that didn’t stop the indie artist from making long strides in his journey to increased acclaim. In September, he released the soothing “Pretty Much” video featuring a nostalgic glance back at Chief Keef’s “I Don’t Like” video. Then, in November, he dropped back-to-back collabs with even more of his Chicago brethren. First, there was “Okay,” a flirty exchange with Dreezy, then a few weeks later, he teamed up with Saba in the latter’s video for “So And So.”

All along, he’s been releasing self-shot visuals for more singles, including “Student Loans,” the animated “Darlin’,” “Notice Me,” and “Cheap Vacations.” He’s proven prolific and consistent in 2020; now all that remains is to put it all together on Parrish Blue.

Sam Ostler Delivers a Heart-Stirring Triumph with “Unconditional Love”

Sam Ostler

In his latest song, “Unconditional Love,” Sam Ostler lets us into one of his most vulnerable creative moments yet. It’s a deeply personal single shaped by loss, reflection, and the kind of deep attachment that leaves a lasting mark. The song starts with a soft piano part and builds up to a powerful, soaring chorus. It takes listeners to a place where heartbreak and healing can happen at the same time.

Ostler sets up a feeling of closeness right away, as if he’s telling the world a secret. The simple piano arrangement makes the verses sound almost like they’re being whispered, letting each lyric breathe. But the chorus is where the song really shines. It rises with warmth and conviction, just like the feeling you get when you remember someone who changed your life forever. The contrast between softness and uplift in “Unconditional Love” really speaks to fans who have felt the weight of loss or the unwavering love that stays with us long after someone is gone.

Ostler wants to bring “Unconditional Love” to life outside of the studio by doing live acoustic performances, sharing intimate behind-the-scenes moments, and telling heartfelt stories on social media. This will help listeners better understand the experiences that shaped the record. His upcoming live shows, radio pitches, and partnerships with content creators will help the song reach more people who are looking for realness in modern music.

“Unconditional Love” is one of Sam Ostler’s most personal works to date. It is touching, cinematic, and very human. It stays with you. And for a lot of people, it will be the music that goes along with their own stories of love, loss, and everything else.
