OAKLND has hit upon a winning formula for a chilled indie pop bop, blending his breezy vocals with electronic elements and hazy, atmospheric sounds. ‘PARIS’ takes the indie songwriting sensibilities of artists such as The 1975 and fuses it with dreamy, chillwave soundscapes.
Talking about the new track, OAKLND shares: “Probably the most vulnerable I’ve ever been on a track. It was a really cool writing, recording and production process. It’s co-produced by Casey Barth who has co-written and co-produced for Julia Michaels (Happy + What A Time w/Niall Horan) and Quinn XCII (Meeting Strangers). Quinn XCII is one of my favourite artists and Julia Michaels is obviously huge, so working with someone who’s written and produced for them was amazing, I learned a lot from it!”
OAKLND’s fresh, pop sound has already garnered the attention of Amazing Radio, Clash and Tenement TV and it’s not hard to see why; he’s definitely one to keep on your radar.
