grapevine. is leaving listeners with a longing anticipation for more. Alas the yacht pop era continues as grapevine. isn’t hiding his tropical influences, in fact ‘Like An Oasis’ parades those influences and wears them proudly. Released just in time for the summer, ‘Like An Oasis’ is the summer anthem you’ve all been waiting for.
While as luxurious sounding as the song may seem, the track can actually be seen as a desperate plea for when you’re so lost in love with someone who just seems too good to be true that it’s like finding your way through a desolate oasis (as intense as all the great classic power ballads out there). With this track, grapevine. wanted to take his love for the 80’s and the throwback pop sound that he adores most by upping the anti to pull off a track compatible to the classic 80’s anthems by Hall and Oates, Journey and The Outfield.
Not only does the track include more synths, there’s even a saxophone solo kicking off at the last third! Listeners will get a good dose of nostalgia from this new grapevine. era, solidifying his mark on the north east music scene as things definitely aren’t slowing down just yet.
