Frank Walker releases powerful sophomore album ‘Oasis’: Listen

Canadian producer Frank Walker has always cemented himself as a master of dance and pop music, unleashing infectious anthems throughout his young career. Now he showcases why he has garnered such critical and commercial acclaim with the release of his second full-length album, Oasis.

What makes Frank Walker so impressive is how he seamlessly blends genres while never feeling out of place amongst different audiences and artists. Looking to continue to showcase his wide range of influences and abilities, Walker utilizes his second full-length album, Oasis, to continue to blur the lines between dance, pop, country, and R&B. Opening up the collection, he teams up with dance music staple Arty for the emotional yet driving opener, Sky. It serves as an emotional introduction before a run of country-tinged, pop-friendly tracks expands the collection’s theme of freedom, connection, and escape.

“OASIS is an exploration through expansion. My sophomore album is all about breaking through the guardrails that were holding me in my creative comfort zone, simultaneously pushing the bounds into both new electronic energies, and expanding deeper into organic soundscapes. Parallel to the
sonic identity, it’s an emotional exploration as well—I dive into the feelings of freedom, love, self-discovery, and more. The blank canvas of artistry is represented by a barren desert, and the goal is to create my own OASIS within that space.”

Throughout Oasis, Frank Walker appears focused on delivering infectious, over-the-top hooks and melodies. While he is not afraid to explore different sounds and styles in the production, the toplines are all of the highest quality. Listening to a track like Find My Way it is easy to see how the impact of Avicii continues to flow through a new generation of artists. Helping bring the album to life is a wide range of producers, singers, and collaborators, who are all free to inject their own personality into each track. Featuring the talents of Salem Ilese, Dustin Lynch, Bryce Vine, Josh Ross, and more, Oasis is far more than just the brainchild of Frank Walker; it is a testament to his willingness to allow others to expand his vision and sound.

Across 12 tracks, Oasis maintains a drive and infectiousness that demand repeat listens from fans new and old. Every track is meticulously produced and written for maximum effectiveness, both in private listens or amongst a crowded audience. For the Canadian producer, his second full-length is a testament to his talents in the studio and attention to detail. Oasis is one of the most infectious releases of the year and showcases a producer who is confident in his abilities.
