Single Review: Oolala Feat. Sophie Gibson 1

Theajsound is a rising artist who just released a new track called Oolala. Sophie Gibson’s voice features in the radio edit, and it’s a tasty tune for sure! I love the sensual feel that glorifies fooling around, living in the moment and indulging in people. It’s not always that deep. Sometimes, it’s just a good beat and a good voice with a nice feeling. Theajsound is from Auckland, Aotearoa. He has great reach online, and clearly knows how to create an atmosphere with his music. 

The tonality is sexy, and it’s fun. It sounds a bit like a reggaeton or calypso beat but even eastern Europe nodes have slipped in there for me! It makes for an awesome work out song if you’re into dancing. There is, of course, a backstory! Heartbreak. So, as we all know, after we get our hearts broken… we party! 

I do of course hear the production and the many instruments present. And, of course, the royalties which follow. However, I think this one is just meant to be danced to. You know? Sometimes when you don’t know where to go, all you can do is cope with what is in front of you. When you have a world telling you to become more sexual, you practice being sexual. When you add music to society… you get a party. Cheers to Theajsound for another moment in time! I hope it gets big, dude.

About the author Gaby Ivanov-Giraldo

If I tried to explain all the reasons I do music, we’d be here all day. Basically, I’m here to support an industry that needs it and show people it’s still very much alive. I’ve been going to live events for as long as I can remember. I love the people in this world, the stories I hear, and helping artists get the recognition they deserve. I’ve been with Muzic NZ for over six years now, writing and figuring out how to make music make sense to more people. I also dabble in music myself for fun, and writing about it has been the best way I can stay connected to it.
