FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
OCEAN
UNVEILS NEW CD, “OCEAN”
Ocean,
acclaimed Artist-songwriter and producer, has a new CD debuting in
June, 2007. Entitled, simply, Ocean, it showcases the mesmerizing and
lush vocals she is known for, and, this time, in a more relaxed,
adult-contemporary vein. The songs on the self-titled CD are luxurious,
melodic numbers, often with romantic themes- but some run toward the
darker realms of mythic realms, and toward the exotic in structure,
rhythm, and style. Overall, the listener is lured into a sensual dream of
sound, seduced by Ocean’s unique and golden-toned voice.
Her well-
received and eclectic first release, Mermaid Music, was, in the words of
one reviewer, “Sultry and exotic, as her image would suggest,…slick and
well-crafted..(with) psychedelic funk work-outs..(you will) be
entranced.” Her song, “Love-Junkie”, a metal-rap number, has proven to be a
popular cross-over perennial, and “Siren Song”, a favorite on AAA
stations.
Her vocal
talents are unique and vast in both in range and style, and her
songwriting puts her in that rare category of artists who can do both
equally well. Ocean’s delivery on some of these softer rock songs remind
one of Sade and Sting, while some of her stronger vocal runs can be
compared to those of Evanescence. From echoes of Astrid Gilberto’s sandy
island sound to Nina Simone’s gravelly soul, Ocean’s new vehicle, Ocean,
puts her in the league of some of our preeminent female vocalists.
Ocean,
named for the ocean, is a surfer, a vegan, and an environmental activist.
Her multi-talents are used not only in the creation of awesome music, but
also in the service of saving animals and the planet. Due to this
compassionate interest, Ocean has been invited to act as spokesperson for
a new site, EcoMermaid.com, which opens in mid-August, 2004, and will
spotlight Ecoarticles and offer an EcoShoppingCenter. Ocean, their choice
for first mermaid, was also selected for their first celebrity interview.

Ocean's music, a steamy blend of danceable pop funk, exotic melodics,

an array of lyrical themes ranging from the insolence of her song spoof of
love addiction, 'Love-Junkie", to the haunting, mythic song-story of
'Siren Song'.
Ocean's impressive range of vocal chops go from R & B- type soulful
deliveries, (think Ann Peebles, Prince, or Al Green), through multi-octave
vocal acrobatics,( like artists Robert Planet or Ozzy), and deeper, sultry
full-voiced songs ,(Garbage, Pretenders), to a seamlessly satiny singing
style (reminiscent of Sade , Sting, Seal, or Debbie Harry).

catalogue of over 3,000 songs.

OCEAN MAKES WAVES WITH HER DEBUT
RELEASE
MERMAID MUSIC, ON NOVEMBER 17TH
Artist, Songwriter, and Producer, OCEAN has a song catalogue of over 3,000
original songs. This is just the beginning. OCEAN is of Scandinavian
heritage; she has traveled the world with her skateboard and surfboard,
grew up in Malibu,California, and on the Florida coast, and attended
school in New York State and in Europe.
In MERMAID MUSIC, OCEAN creates mesmerizing songs which flow from the idea
that being "free" is the essence of life. Described as a "Freedom Child,"
and having written and produced music since the tender age of fourteen,
OCEAN has followed her wanderlust, her own siren song, all over the
planet.
The lure of exotic lands has always inspired her creatively. The
possibility of being labeled as a "Disco Doll" or being limited to just
one style by the music industry has lead her to release her own production
of MERMAID MUSIC, a spiritually free, undulating record with accents of
tribalism, electronica, dancemusic, and street funk.
Since MERMAID MUSIC was largely influenced by her world travels, it's
music touches many cultures, embracing exotic elements in a style she
created and calls,"Hypnofunk". Some of the music is based on "Homegrown
Funk," her idea of the distillation of rock, funk, and blues. Her lyrics
are at the same time "street-wise" and "lyrical,"often drawing upon mythic
themes. At times, the sophistication of cross-rhythmic fusion underlies
the intricacies of her haunting, multi-leveled vocals. OCEAN has emerged
on the music scene with a powerful current of uniquely original melodic
sound. Her interest in causes has lead her also to record a collection of
lullabies to give to children in hospitals and orphanages. Ocean is a
volunteer for "wildlife rescue," and spends time surfing and helping lost
and injured animals. In MERMAID MUSIC, OCEAN takes the listener on a
magical voyage of the seven seas, through a primal realm where the flavors
of many cultures converge. OCEAN 's musical sorcery blends these elements
together and entrances the listener with the passionate, lilting waves of
this, her debut album.
