Dante James is a 26-year-old artist who sent me his song “Practice.” I listened to it and, though it’s a bit shorter than tracks I typically feature, it spoke to me.
I love this one, especially because of its sonic qualities. It’s like a combination of dreamy alt-pop and 1990s “earnesty”/honesty. Take that, filter it through a strainer that adds in self-doubt and self-assurance, and you’ve got “UFO.”
The song is angry, but quite tongue-in-cheek. The nature of it allows Oakley to just vent their frustrations at societal “norms” and let me tell you: it’s glorious.
