“’Soft Speak’ is a return to where I first fell in love with electronic music – the gentler, softer side of it. I wanted to make something people could really sink into; a place to disconnect, if only for a moment.
The record is also a tribute to my friend Cory, who I lost unexpectedly in 2025. Two songs on the album are for him. He was a true believer in the power of music and the good of people; the best of us. In my own small way, I wanted to put something back out into the world so he can continue to live on with us.” –
Today, Chris Null (aka obli) presents his debut album, ‘Soft Speak’. Across 11 tracks, the record moves through downtempo, lo-fi, indie and dance with warmth and clarity, amounting to a deeply personal and immersive body of work.
