On September 17th, Lukas will grace the stage at the Reeperbahn Festival, where he promises to peel back layers, both emotionally and sonically, with this latest release. “Onions” kicks off with a raw, lo-fi groove that swiftly evolves into a surprisingly club-ready soundscape. Deep, pulsating basslines, crystal-clear vocals, and shimmering synths propel the track into uncharted territory, akin to a nocturnal drive through a tunnel under a moonlit sky, dancing on the edge of escapism and euphoria.
Thematically, “Onions” delves into a pressing question of our time: in a world that spins faster than ever, how willing are we to open ourselves to others? What if letting go of entrenched beliefs and entrusting one’s heart to an admired person weren’t a risk, but a pathway forward? Amid the mounting pressure to have life figured out instantly, “Onions” emerges as a quiet act of rebellion. Lukas offers no definitive answers; instead, he surrenders the need for certainty. “Show me your world,” he pleads. “Tell me how it feels to walk in your shoes.” This isn’t a conventional love song; it’s a fantasy of devotion.

In a world that celebrates self-sufficiency, this track serves as a poignant reminder: growth often means allowing someone else to take the lead.
Lukas Oscar, with his Filipino roots, has cemented himself as a distinctive voice in the German-speaking indie pop scene in recent years, renowned for blending vulnerable intimacy with catchy melodies and a melancholic vocal power that captivates from the very first note.
