French pop/rock trio, Oakman have shared their upbeat new single, “Fantasy,” today via Rude Records. The song touches on how we can tend to live in a “fantasy” world where we’re not being true to ourselves and realizing that we can’t continue to live that way and we have to be who we really are. Listen to the song now below.
“The pandemic and the lockdown was a long period of questioning. When you try to realize your dreams, your projects, you put so much energy into it that nothing can stop you,” said the band. “But when everything stops, it’s a hard blow. And this time, it was the whole world that stopped! So you start to question your life, your choices and even think about giving up and you say to yourself, ‘that would only be proving the people who never believed in you right.’ So when you finally realize that you can’t give up who you are, you start to find a new energy where this time you want to fight even harder to reach your goals because ‘this time you want it all.’”
“Fantasy” follows in the footsteps of last month’s release, “Night,” which reflects on the fleeting moments of life we take for granted. Listen to it HERE.
