The ridiculously talented so-and-so known as Arjuna Oakes may have departed our shores for the Great British dream for now, but we're still claiming him as one of ours! Having turned heads with his The Watcher EP, and collaborations with the likes of Nathan Haines and Serebii, Oakes has finally announced his debut album While I'm Distracted. A cauldron of cool, melding "contemporary soul and jazz, touches of global folk, electronica, modern classical, and post-rock", we can't wait to hear it all this May! - Flying Out
On debut album ‘While I'm Distracted’, London-based New Zealander Arjuna Oakes draws inspiration from contemporary soul and jazz, touches of global folk, electronica, modern classical, and post-rock, with dynamic arrangements and production. ‘While I'm Distracted’ is an album about fighting for your innocence and right to be a vulnerable and honest human. Arjuna’s songwriting explores themes of identity, depression, existentialism, social media, loss of innocence, and finding hope for the future through artistic expression.
