Adeline Michèle Pétricien, professionally known as Adi Oasis, previously as Adeline, is a French-Caribbean (now based in Brooklyn, NY) singer, bassist and producer that fuses soul, funk and R&B, which results in a distinctive retro-futurist sound.[1][2][3][4]

Early life

Adi Oasis was born on May 17, 1985, in Saint-Mandé, Île-de-France, and grew up in a suburb of Paris, France, representing a fusion of Caribbean and Southern French heritage. Her father hails from Martinique, while her mother is from the southwest countryside.[3][4][5] She and her three siblings grew up singing. She began performing professionally with a choir at the age of 5 and made numerous television appearances and toured across France during her upbringing.[6][7][8][9]

As a teenager, Oasis taught herself to play the guitar and began composing her own songs while performing in various venues in Paris. After a year in college, she made the bold decision to dedicate her life to music and relocated to New York City, U.S..[4][8][10][11]

Career

Career beginnings

Adi Oasis's career began in New York, where she initially worked as a model and a DJ. During her first year in the city, she formed her first music group, "The Crowd," a trio with fellow musicians Randy Mason and Akil Dasan. Her introduction to the bass guitar occurred when the band's bass player unexpectedly canceled before a performance, and it soon became her signature instrument.[6][7][8][9][11]

Following her time with The Crowd, Adi Oasis became the lead singer of "Escort," a New York based nu-disco band. he band gained critical acclaim through various singles, co-written by Oasis. In 2016, she made the decision to embark on a solo career, releasing her first solo album, titled "Adeline," on November 9, 2018..[3][4][6][12][7][13][14][15]

Oasis dedicated much of 2020 and 2021 to recording new music, as the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted most other professional activities for musicians, such as touring.[8] She released her first EP, "Interimes," on July 10, 2020, followed by a remix of the EP, titled "Intérimixed," on September 11, 2020.[7][9][11][16][17][18]

In September 2020, Adi Oasis collaborated with Atlantic Records artist KAMUU on the single 'Mango.' The song, produced in partnership with Morgan Wiley, garnered significant attention on YouTube, amassing over 10 million views in the first year.[6][19]

In January 2021, Oasis released her single 'Whisper My Name' after debuting the song on a COLORS SESSION. This track served as the first single from her 7-song EP, "Adi Oasis," which was released in September 2021.[6][12][18][20]

Transition from Adeline to Adi Oasis

On April 15, 2021, Adi Oasis made a significant change by transitioning her stage name from Adeline to Adi Oasis. In a social media announcement, she explained that "Adi" is a nickname of Adeline, and she chose "Oasis" as it represents her sanctuary, whether on stage or in the studio. This change was crucial for her artistic expression as a solo artist.[2][6][8][12][14][17][21][22][23][24]

Influences

Adi Oasis draws inspiration from a range of artists, including Prince, Chaka Khan, Curtis Mayfield, Parliament-Funkadelic, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind & Fire, Linda Clifford, Minnie Riperton, D’Angelo, and more.[6][8][17]

Lotus Glow

Lotus Glow is the second studio album by artist Adi Oasis, released on March 3 2023.[3][22] This album marks a significant milestone in her career, symbolizing both personal and artistic transformation. Adi Oasis regards it as her most personal work to date, reflecting her musical and personal growth.[13][25]

Background

"Lotus Glow" serves as Oasis's debut under her new stage name, signifying a rebirth and a fresh start in her artistic journey. The album showcases her emergence as the artist she has always aspired to be, reflecting her profound changes and experiences integral to her artistic development.[3][6][12][8]

Themes and Concept

The album presents a narrative of Oasis's journey and serves as a reflection of her identity and experiences. The lotus flower is a recurring metaphor throughout the album, symbolizing her transformation and growth. She draws parallels between herself and the lotus, highlighting the significance of her roots and the importance of embracing one's origins.[6][22][8][13][18]

Social and Political Commentary

Oasis often addresses political themes, reflecting her experiences as a woman of color with mixed heritage and an immigrant background.[26] She emphasizes the challenges she has faced in pursuing her dreams and aims to shed light on systemic barriers. Several songs on the album, including 'Red To Violet,' 'Serena,' and 'Marigold,' can be seen as anthems for Black women, while others, such as 'Sidonie' and 'The Water,' pay homage to her family and cultural heritage.[3][4][6][8][13]

Musical Style and Production

"Lotus Glow" showcases Oasis's musical growth and her pursuit of her envisioned sound. The album features a more organic and raw musical approach, with most songs incorporating live instruments.
