Discography
Ocean, acclaimed Artist-songwriter and producer, has a new cd debuting in October, 2004. 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 honey-toned voice.
