The entire 12-track collection is a wonderful
celebration of Oggie and his passion and dedication to music.

The inspiration for Throwback Season was a combination of things really, my best friends, my taste in music growing up over the years, and just the idea of singing songs that evoked a lot of happiness. I was in a place where I wanted to sing songs that, for the most part, made people feel good and made me feel good to sing.
I have always had an eclectic taste in music, all the artists that inspired me most always crossed musical genres, Listen to any Michael or Janet Jackson album and you hear that, and Prince also. I loved 90's R&B growing up with a passion and UK Garage, House, even indie music - I could listen to Nirvana in one heartbeat and then Denzee singing ‘Sorry’ in the next.
This album, for me, really pays homage to that and has a very light laid back feel to it, it's a summer album for sure. My friends helped me choose the songs that eventually made the cut, I want people to put it on and just feel good.

‘Like A Dream’ featuring Draztik is a statement piece consisting of a heady blend of playful, sexy and imploring voices together with a gnarly bass-driven track and funky flairs.
‘Dreamin’ is a subdued UKG number where we see an interesting playful dance between hard and soft vocal tones - it tugs at your curiosity.
'I Swear’ is a ballad of lovely strings and a gentle
tempo, the voice sweeps you off your feet
with sweet and charming
heartfelt emotion.
