Where this album fits

Career context
By 1988, Roberta Flack was an established artist, celebrated for her smooth fusion of soul and jazz. 'Oasis' marked her first album in five years, following a period of diminished mainstream visibility after the commercial success of 'Killing Me Softly' in the early 1970s. This release aimed to reintroduce her artistry to a new generation while staying true to her musical roots.
