With production by Oladokun, Mike Elizondo, Ian Fitchuk, Dan Wilson and Alysa Vanderhym, Proof of Life captures the human experience with a profound simplicity; across 13 tracks, Oladokun celebrates the little details and simple pleasures of being alive, while also giving voice to some of life’s most complex experiences in a way only she can.

Ahead of the release, Oladokun visited The Current studio to play a song, “Purple Haze,” from the forthcoming album, plus two songs from her 2021 album, In Defense of My Own Happiness.
