Music News - Arjuna Oakes Signs To London Label Albert’s Favourites and Releases 'Motel'
07 June 2024 - 0 Comments
Arjuna Oakes signs to London Label - Albert’s Favourites. Founder Adam Scrimshire announced the signing:
“I’m so happy to welcome Arjuna Oakes to the Albert’s Favourites family today. We’ve spent the last few months excitedly planning what the future looks and sounds like for Arjuna, prep yourselves for some deeply gorgeous music.”
Today, Arjuna Oakes also releases his new single Motel.
Motel is a song about feeling stuck in life but using that pent up energy to propel yourself into the future.
"The imagery of being stuck in a shitty motel room just felt like it resonated well. I wanted the groove to feel relentless, and the psychedelic production to hint at the darker themes at play."
The deeply infectious drive of this sleazy and delirious beat, dressed up in the woozy luxury of fender rhodes and glistening synths is hard to put down - and then comes the twist in the tail.
"I had recorded a demo years ago and ended up using the vocal take from it because it had a rawness that I loved. We went into the studio to record drums and bass live."
"The second half of the song is my homage to D'Angelo and the Soulquarians who've been a big influence on me. It features some incredible kiwi musicians including Sam Notman on drums, Harrison Scholes on bass, Jo Jenkins on guitar and James Macewan on Trumpet."
