Oxlade’s Hit Single “Away” Makes Rolling Stones’ Top Songs Of 2020

 

Oxlade’s hit single “Away” has made it to Rolling Stone’s Top Songs of 2020. 

It’s another win for Oxlade who has had a great year with the successful release of his debut EP “Oxygene”. One of the tracks off the EP “Away” which was acknowledged by Canadian rapper, Drake a couple of weeks ago was listed as Rolling Stones’ top 50 songs of 2020.

The magazine described the song as; “Away is composed of just two four-line verses, a pair of lovely prehooks consisting of two repeated couplets, and a chorus made up of one word; “Away”. When merged with a sunny beat from Spax, all springy bass, and splintered guitar, the result is a miracle of economy, not to, mention highly danceable. Nigerian singer Oxlade allows just two indulgences- a pretty vocal arc and a repetitive rush of the chorus, plus a succinct guitar on the outro and both are welcome.
