Marshall Oakman is a visionary artist on a mission. He began playing the piano at the age of six and has been developing and progressing sonically ever since. For years, he has blessed us with abundant, genre-spanning, and energetic music, and he has been especially prolific this year, producing the popular single “At The Boiling Point.”
While the varied musician draws inspiration from a wide range of styles, from rock to pop, there is one continuous feature that defines his music, and that is great vibes. It’s unusual to hear a sound that’s so incredibly and overwhelmingly happy, and it’s incredibly pleasant to hear. “She’s No Doll, She’s a Woman,” his new single, is no exception. The song, with its bouncing rhythms and vivid cadences, is the perfect optimization of the winning recipe that has prompted Marshall Oakman to collaborate with great musicians and amass fans worldwide.
We all know that a successful man is backed up by an exceptional woman, but it takes a unique kind of man to show appreciation. While Rock isn’t known for tunes with such a delicate side, Marshall Oakman brings light on recognizing and appreciating the necessary relevance and depth that women have in our lives.
Overall, the recording begs to be seen in a live context. Kasim Sultan on bass, Liberty Devitto on drums, and Paul Pesco on guitar perform together. There’s nothing to debate or dig deeper into, the music just works — the genuineness shines, and the orchestration is marvellously at one with the implications of the title and theme.
