Oaken Lee – “One Summer Gone”

Oaken Lee’s “One Summer Gone” is one of those tracks you play once, and then find yourself playing again without thinking about it. It’s got a kind of warmth to it that feels lived-in, like an old photo you didn’t know you missed.

I just adore the beautiful vocals and how the song flows, just under two minutes, but it doesn’t rush. It lingers, in a nice way. It’s nostalgic without being syrupy. Think hazy afternoons, people-watching, that weird little pocket of time in late summer when everything feels like it might change soon. That’s where this song lives. If you’re into music that can stick in your head for days, give this one a spin. It’s short, sure, but it is impressive.
