Details on 'airport' and the EP
The new single 'airport' explores the pain of a breakup following a move to Chicago after college. Lyrics capture raw vulnerability, including lines like: “Now I’m crying / ’cause I heard that you found someone / And the only thing that I found’s your t-shirt in my closet / Still got the stain on the front from the last time you wore it / August was hard, the month that you’re leaving / drove me to the airport / you said ‘see you ’round’ / but I’ll never see you now.” This track is part of the upcoming EP Chicago, which thematically revolves around similar inspirational stories of transition and loss.
OAKLND continues to connect with lo-fi indie enthusiasts, building on his steady rise since his early releases. The single is available now on platforms like Spotify, with more updates on the EP expected soon. For the latest, follow him on Spotify, Facebook, and X.
