French Caribbean, Brooklyn based soul-funk-r&b artist and producer Adi Oasis recently released her new album, Lotus Glow, featuring her trademark soaring vocals, funky bass, and retro-futurist production. The album, which includes special guests KIRBY, Leven Kali, Jamila Woods and Aaron Taylor, is Adi’s most personal work to date – and also her most political. 

For Adi, the political themes are unavoidable. “Thematically my new album is fearless, yet vulnerable, and also more political, because I’m a black female immigrant, and these are my truths.” The album title sums up Adi’s journey, from growing up in the Paris projects to being a Black female immigrant in America. “Lotus Glow represents the flower I’ve blossomed into, the artist I’ve worked on becoming all my life. The glow is where I am going next. It’s my destiny.” 

Since going solo in 2018, Adi has earned widespread critical acclaim and a thriving fanbase, partly due to her incredible live shows. Her single “Whisper My Name” was featured in a stunning COLORS debut in early 2021, and she has garnered critical praise from press including Vogue and Elle to Rolling Stone, Wonderland, Line of Best Fit, and others. 

She has toured globally, appearing with such artists as Lenny Kravitz, Masego, Anderson .Paak,  Thundercat, Gilles Peterson, Yasiin Bey and more, and has performed at  a wide variety of festivals including Newport Jazz Fest, Love Supreme, Central Park Summerstage, Afropunk, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Cross the Tracks, Funk on the Rocks (Red Rocks).
