"It's easy to get lost in Adi Oasis’ free-flowing melodies and groovy tones, something that is always a blessing and never a curse. Her honeyed vocals sweep you into a sepia-toned daze and everything feels just perfect.” - Earmilk
“[Adi’s] voice is insanely amazing” - FADER
"a hypnotizing and brazen attitude for the sexy true fantasy even Sade would approve of." - Afropunk
“Littered with retro sensibilities that are most noticeable in its serene production, “Stages” is the ultimate Sunday sound… Warm-toned and undeniably infectious.” - Wonderland
"Adeline seems destined to be one of the post-COVID era’s genuine rising stars." - Blackbook 
“...channels classic ’70s soul with a blend of jazz and R&B.” - NME

French-Caribbean singer, bassist and producer Adi Oasis has teamed up w/ Memphis-born songwriter Kirby for her latest single, “Adonis”, a song about no-good boyfriends which Adi describes as “an intervention from your girlfriend.” Sonically, the track blends soul-powered vocals with trumpet-laced jazz rhythms and retro-futurist production that has become a hallmark of Adi’s production work with her partner Morgan Wiley under the moniker Nightshade.

“Adonis is that guy that needs to call Tyrone and ask him to help him get his shit,” Adi explains, a winking nod to the song “Tyrone” by Soul Goddess Erykah Badu. “The relationship is toxic, but somehow you’re still hoping that maaaaybe just this once he will change.This is when you need a girlfriend to remind you that ‘YOU’RE A BAD BITCH!’ and you deserve better.”

Speaking on her collaboration with Kirby, Adi notes, “I’ve been a huge fan of KIRBY’s for a while, and I knew I had to have her on my album. She’s such an amazing writer. We wanted to speak our truths from the perspective of two young Black women who get insecure sometimes, because we all do. So we wanted to share this story with our sisters to let them know that they are not alone.”
