Oceans wastes no time in presenting fans with fresh new sounds with his latest offering, ‘Unhappy Birthday’.
Having marked a 2-year hiatus from releasing music in style with ‘Cereal’ in June, and having dropped the stunning music video last week, the British talent continues to solidify the path he is taking with ‘Unhappy Birthday’. The single sees him further develop the trademark Oceans sound with a series of new music, the result of a number of months in the studio refining the new direction for Oceans both musically and visually.
The catchy vocals on ‘Unhappy Birthday’ sit atop luscious piano chords and an ascending guitar riff that gives the track an upbeat feel, which works well alongside the melancholic vocal. The beat consists of a halftime rhythm, groovy percussion, and high energy hat pattern.
Oceans continues to build on the success of previous releases including 2018’s ‘Summer Rain’, ‘Deep Blue’, and ‘Cold Aint For Me’, which has over 26 million Spotify streams. Oceans’ songs and videos have received over 100 million plays combined, while he can boast over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, as his return in 2020 signals an evolution in his sound. The development in himself as an artist, both in a musical and perceptible sense, channels his innate creativity across all mediums to deliver a vision and project that ties in his love of music, fashion, and lifestyle into an impressively creative spectacle.
