Hyperpop artist, moistbreezy, returns with her official video for the catchy and cool “Oasis”.
As a musician very much of the digital age, moistbreezy’s presence in both New York and the hyperpop community has led to much success. Marking her arrival in 2016 with the electrifying upbeat single “Running”, moistbreezy shared her early aughts-inspired debut mixtape Breezy’ in September 2020. ‘Breezy’ is a lux sonic experience that creates an ethereal world from Avatar inspired visuals and dreamlike lyricism.
Self-produced but meticulously created, “Oasis” is a rich and textured song coming from the EP. Driven by percussion and smooth atmospheric pads, moistbreezy’s vocals are centre stage. With the chorus comes the brilliant hook underpinned by a thumping bass, which acts as a second melody amongst swirling effects and synths.
“True to its title, Oasis was meant to be just that – a sonic oasis,” moistbreezy explains. “I wrote everything else around it, knowing it would fall directly in the middle of the track listing. It’s a love song that captures the philosophy I had for the project as a whole: a safe haven in a world of chaos. This is what I believe love is. It’s also what making music and art is for me, an escape from the crazy dystopia we live into a place of peace and emotional safety.”
“Oasis” is now accompanied with a video that perfectly mirrors the song, depicting moistbreezy in a fantastical dreamworld. “The process of writing and producing this track was incredibly visual for me, I was picturing a world like Pandora from James Cameron’s Avatar, or FernGully.”
moistbreezy’s vision and DIY attitude serves her brilliantly. As an artist in many mediums, the visuals are something treasured by her deeply, creating a beautiful and developing partnership between audio and video going forward.
