Artist Name：Oaklyn
Label：Oaklyn
Product Code：SSRi-0031
A promising act in Nordic adult lounge and laid-back soul! An exquisite combination of simple yet impressive music intertwined with sexy vocals.
Oaklyn is a Finnish soul duo consisting of lead vocalist Linda Ilves and producer/composer Sami Tammela. Once you hear the warm sound of their debut album "Chasing the Sun," listeners will quickly be captivated by its comfort. The simple yet impressive songs created by Tammela, which thoroughly eliminate unnecessary sounds, further enhance Ilves' suggestive, smoky, sweet, and sexy vocals, while the organ, flowing through the spaces in the sound, further highlights their unique world. "Chasing the Sun," a neo-soul track with a Jill Scott-like texture, features an upbeat track and a laid-back groove that is addictive. "Waitin'" is a typical love song about waiting for someone special, with a groovy bassline and light synth chords giving the song the sparkle of a rough diamond. Also, Tammela's wide musical sensibility in creating tracks that perfectly match Ekow's featured rap in this song is amazing. As a debut, they are still relatively unknown. Nevertheless, their sensibility and vocals strongly suggest the possibility of becoming big in the future. Their music, which had been generating buzz among core neo-soul fans, mainly through web media, and was only available in Japan via digital distribution, is finally being released. Keep an eye on their continued growth as they aim to become leaders in Nordic urban soul.
