It does not happen often Osborne Brothers‘S John Osborne goes to the recording studio without his brother, TJ.
But when the opportunity arose to sing a duet with his wife and fellow artist, Lucie Silvas on a children’s melody, “Working on a beautiful song”, The new father knew he wanted to be there.
“There’s a word that’s rarely in my vocabulary. It’s ‘no.’ I’m like, ‘Hey, do you want to do something?’ Like, ‘Yeah, sounds fun, let’s do it.’ And it was a song that my wife wrote,” John tells ABC Audio in a recent interview. “She played it for me (and) I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s so sweet.'”
“I love that it’s just not a typical nursery rhyme. And we had just had twins. I’m a total fan (of nursery rhymes). I thought, I’ll sign up,” he recalls. “I just want my kids to think I’m cool for as long as possible, because I know it’s only a limited time.”
When asked how his one-year-old twins are doing, Arthur And Maybellineabout it, John says, “You think everything sounds the same.”
“Honestly, all the kids want to hear now is Dua Lipa. That’s all they want,” he says. “We literally play nursery rhymes, they cry, and we put on ‘Dance the Night’ and then they’re just happy.”
“So compared to Dua Lipa, I’m nothing in many ways, but especially when it comes to my own children,” John adds with a laugh.
