Oxygen
Willy Mason
Grandma's Basement/ Radiate/Virgin
WE SAY
There's a big and growing buzz on this track, and no wonder. It's that rare thing - a wonderful, intelligent and totally positive lyric from a credible singer songwriter (discovered by Radiate's Jon Chapman at SXSW) - click on 'recordings/lyrics' on Willy's site to read the lyrics in full. It's also an unexpectedly beautiful melody, particularly in the chorus, and it's 100% performance, song, and substance over production sheen which is exactly as it should be just now. Oxygen is so clearly connecting with certain groups of people that it looks destined for anthem status. Jo Whiley is an early supporter. Let's hear it A listed on Radios 1 and 2.
