Two years after he had the world dancing to his smash hit, Oxlade released his debut album ‘Oxlade of Africa’. While the album offers glimpses of his distinctive vocal prowess and melodies, the content takes on a direction that alienates both the artist and the art from the consumers he intends to win over.
“Oxlade Of Africa” is the stamp of distinction the musician leaves on every track and it’s the title he adopts for his debut album that comes after over a decade in the game.
With the title presenting him as a pan-Africanist musician spreading his talent across the continent, Oxlade attempts to ratify this tag by collaborating with continental stars whose presence fails to uplift the records or communicate his popstar ambition.
