Oso Oso, aka Jade Lilitri, just released third album 'Basking In The Glow', and it's already going down a storm. We caught up with Jade to talk about the things that inspired him in the making of his new record.

H&R Block Sign

This is on the mood board because one day I saw a sign for an H&R Block, just like in this picture, in a shopping mall. The green part was off the block, so it was just pretty much this cool light box – I took a picture of it with my phone and then it became the album cover. Thanks Apple!

Apples & Peanut Butter

If you have any hopes of writing and recording an age old classic, you gotta be snacking on an age old classic, you catch my drift? I don’t know if I nailed the age old classic thing, but I definitely ate lots of apples and peanut butter while writing this record.

Tom Petty – You Don’t Know How it Feels

Tom Petty and Rick Rubin teaming up. Ultimate legends. I remember listening to this song a lot this past winter.

Shumpert Put Back Dunk

Dunks are great. Sometimes, when you need inspiration, try watching a video of your favorite dunk. I’m serious. This might be my favorite dunk ever, because I remember being at work, taping the game and getting home late, then watching it trying not to wake anyone and literally jumping out of my seat wanting to freak the fuck out.

Smash Mouth – All Star

Because why not? Just kidding… But I remember playing this song on guitar fooling around for a while, and then I started trying to write and wrote the song ‘the view’. So this makes the list, baby.
