Ahead of the release of Planet Oasis, Just A Gent fans are treated to the newest taste of the producer and songwriter’s long awaited new studio record: ‘Don’t Wait For Me’.
It’s another strong stride forward for Just A Gent, who has been consistently demonstrating his elevation as an artist over the last year through a string of single releases and here, he proves his staying power as one of the most engaging Australian producers to do it.
Collaborating with singer Lani Rose on the track, Just A Gent constructs another rich and vibrant soundscape for the listener to immerse themselves within. This international collaboration was an enriching one for Just A Gent, composing the track on Wonnarua Country (Maitland), with Lani recording his vocals in Austin, Texas.
As with the rest of the Planet Oasis record, ‘Don’t Wait For Me’ was entirely written, produced and engineered by Just A Gent out of his own studio – the final product being a refined and addictive listen. Moreover, it serves as a fitting introduction to Lani Rose as a vocalist – an insatiable talent – to more Australian music fans.
‘Don’t Wait For Me’ follows on from the release of Just A Gent’s killer link up with Perth’s Arno Faraji, ‘Who Would Have Thought’ earlier this year and the popular Greta Stanley collaboration, ‘Sleeptalking’. Throughout 2021, fans have seen the producer drop hints about the wider Planet Oasis record courtesy of tunes including ‘Island Fever’ and ‘Nova’; as the countdown enters its final stages looking towards its April 21st release, ‘Don’t Wait For Me’ comes at the perfect time.“I put everything I have into this record. I collaborated with my favourite creatives to bring it together. I hope it inspires you to do more and I hope that together we can build an even better world for the next generations. An oasis, Planet Oasis.”
