London-native PapaRaZzle is continuing to solidify his name in the world of music with his new single, "OXYGEN," taken from his second album, "Do You Believe in Soulmates? (Vol. 1)." On this album, he turns personal reveries into universal soundscapes to straddle both the intimacy of lived experience and the expansiveness of Afrofusion.
"OXYGEN" is rich with tenderness, patience, and deep emotional charge. It's far less about spectacle and so much about feeling, yet the foundation remains intact. The production brings together trap-leaning beats, reggaeton's playful cadence, and pop rap's smoothness into something coherent, intentional, and spookily fresh. "OXYGEN" sounds like a conversation not only with oneself but with anyone who has ever wondered about the timing, fragility, or possibility of love. It's expansive in scope, cinematic even, but deeply personal in execution.
Completely self-penned and recorded, the song is a product of PapaRaZzle's DIY approach to artistry, an unwillingness to compromise on authenticity. He's an artist deeply rooted in Afrosoul and R&B memories, yet unafraid to blend that with contemporary beats that lend the music relevance. PapaRaZzle has produced a track that is both thought-provoking and intoxicating, a testament to an artist whose sound is not so much evolving as expanding in groundbreaking ways, pushing the possibilities of what Afrofusion could be.
