I Don't Know

Oakland (Live)

geddit

A divine downtempo neo-soul waltz in 6/8. A clean nylon-string guitar, drenched in reverb and delay, dances over ethereal pads, pulsing upright bass, and tasteful Afro-Latin percussion. Tender baritone vocals float through the night, carrying you from darkness into morning light.

This song is a modern-day soul lullaby that elevates the hopes, fears, dreams, and worries a new parent feels for their little bundle of joy.

Heaven alone knows where you are going 
The best laid plans often go wrong
But wherever you find yourself tomorrow
You know is right where you belong

21-year-old New Zealand musician Arjuna Oakes's debut EP, The Watcher, is a showcase of his ability as a singer-songwriter, instrumentalist and producer, and a testament to his depth of engagement with music. The first two tracks on the EP fit neatly within the jazz-infused soul music landscape he is quickly becoming part of, but the latter half of the EP is far harder to categorise. Featuring instrumentation from some of New Zealand’s most exciting young jazz musicians, The Watcher explores a wide variety of themes and musical ideas, with Arjuna’s charismatic soul vocals and robust sonic palette serving as a connective thread. From big social issues to personal relationships and internal self-discoveries,  across The Watcher, Arjuna takes his cue from the title track and exploration of mass surveillance, and it’s relevance within our everyday lives. This watcher theme continues throughout the rest of the EP, with the stories told rendered as if being observed by an outside force. Decorated by cinematic soundscapes, hypnotic grooves, creative improvisation and catchy melodies, Arjuna's debut is a test palette for his future projects, one that makes his enthusiasm to develop and explore themes and style in song abundantly clear.
