The Leader by Oxford Drama

The track premiered on The Stephen Mcauley Show on BBC, and it is available online now! „Nobody wanted but everybody needed,” Exactly how much does this opening line from Oxford Drama’s newest single refer to the song itself?

“The Leader” is the first single promoting the Polish duo’s new LP, out this spring. Three years after releasing their third album, Oxford Drama is back with a big statement and an even bigger promise.

Political satire wrapped in a pulsating dance

“The Leader” sees Małgorzata Dryjańska and Marcin Mrówka enjoying the comfort of their own musical skins while also dipping their fingers into new sonic explorations. With this late-summer-jam-turned-societal-critique, Oxford Drama is flexing newfound confidence, bold and upfront like never before.

The song’s propelling rhythm, its narrative glimpse into modern-day absurdities, and the feeling of pure excitement all prove that even bad leadership can sometimes bring positive outcomes. Both musically and lyrically, “The Leader” is Oxford Drama at their most playful, courageous and energetic yet – a band that’s set out to achieve exactly what they’ve planned on their way to the fourth record.

The Leader by Oxford Drama

“Nobody wanted but everybody needed” – czy to samo można powiedzieć o nowym utworze Oxford Drama? The Leader to pierwszy singiel zapowiadający nowy album wrocławskiego duetu. Trzy lata po swojej trzeciej płycie Oxford Drama wracają z odważnym komentarzem i jeszcze odważniejszą obietnicą.

To niezobowiązująca letnia improwizacja, która nabrała kształtów jako buzujący w tańcu polityczny manifest. Małgorzata Dryjańska i Marcin Mrówka dojrzeli: w “The Leader” pokazują, jak dobrze czują się we własnej muzycznej skórze i z jaką łatwością przychodzi im rozciąganie jej w nowych kierunkach.

Zadziorny rytm, narracja pełnym haustem wdychająca absurdy nowoczesności i dreszcz zupełnie nowej energii – wszystko w “The Leader” każe czekać na wiosnę i czwarty album zespołu. Oxford Drama jeszcze nigdy nie brzmieli tak pewni siebie!
