Gravity (Single)
Osasioo
R&B singer-songwriter Osasioo, has recently unveiled an entrancing and captivating new single called ‘Gravity’. Based in Alberta, Canada and originating from Lagos, Nigeria, Osasioo has taken his journey throughout the music industry to new levels as he both excites and delights with his newest work.
'Gravity' has a calming and contemplative, tone and atmosphere-intensive; not rooted in traditional structure and rhythm. Vocals are weaved with layer upon layer of intonation and looping. The song is marked by a progression that cascades into a final vocal loop. Repeating phrases are contorted and finally broken down through the act of repetition.
With his work showing endless examples of R&B tradition alongside the exploration of soul sentiments intertwined, it is to no surprise that his newest single is leaving listeners with anticipation.
It's a single that pretty much anyone can appreciate. You get slow rhythms that leave you revisiting your own memories or tapping into his. You get lilts that take you through the depths of desperation to the heights of hope. You get a sense of calm and upliftment, despite the themes tackled.
