Hush

"Hush" is a song written by American singer Emily Osment and Canadian singer Josh Ramsay. They decided to collaborate when Osment went on a trip to Canada to film a movie, and met Ramsay. They immediately hit it off, and decided to write a song together. It officially premiered on Much Music on April 26, 2011. The song was released to Canadian radio on May 10, 2011, and Canada's iTunes Store on the same day. Osment confirmed on her official Twitter that there will be a music video for the song to be released in September. Background and composition "Hush" was written by Emily Osment and Josh Ramsay, who also produced the song. "Hush" is moderately a fast song. It is about a troubled teen relationship with lyrics like "You say that you’re never gonna leave me / But two times that you tell me that you need me / This line is mine, just think about it / You don’t know, you don’t know, you don’t know.” It is unknown if the song will be released on an album. The song is a duet between Osment and Ramsay, but it is often referenced as featuring Josh Ramsay. [edit] Critical receptionScott Shetler of Popcrush.com said: "Osment released her first album less than a year ago, and the 19-year-old’s singing career is still growing. Unfortunately, ‘Hush’ probably won’t be the song to provide her breakthrough hit, as the synth-pop production is rather plain. The unimpressive musical accompaniment leaves the focus on the performers’ vocals, a mistake in the case of Osment, whose thin voice feels so light it could float away, even when it’s double-tracked on the chorus. The inclusion of Ramsay is definitely a good move, as his verses and harmonies help liven up the track." (). Song on Lyrics.com gave the song a more positive review saying: "Hush just goes to show us that Emily Osment is pretty serious about singing and she’s got the vocals to prove it." ()
