Official Dream Man MixtapeDream Man is experimental at its core, with Oyedele drawing inspiration across continents and eras. He reinterprets John Coltrane’s holiday staple ‘My Favourite Things’ in Midsummer Dusk (We the People), he dives into free jazz and presents a compelling performance on ‘Thought Experiment’ over Jay Kalo’s eclectic drum solo. Oyedele explores South African Gwijo, Reggae, Urban jazz and afrofusion to draw listeners into this new world of tentativeness, resolve, and wonder. Serving as a return to the basics, Dream Man takes its role as a mixtape seriously, revering the original music it covers. The songs pay homages to the originals, while retaining a life of their own, creating a dynamic conversation from artiste to artiste to listener. This project is a follow up to Oyedele’s 2023 folk-jazz record, Irawo EP— a sonic study of love, faith and politics. Both projects pulsate with stellar live instrumentation, floating across genres with a consistent rap cadence.
