EP time, let's go! Ocean really spoon feeding us with content out here. A silky smooth sound all over. Although, truth be told I was expecting the EP to be more of a drum approach canvas for you after both Emo Lovestory and Divinity, hopefully I can convey what I mean. I can hear about 3 classic breakbeat rolls and even a beat crush on Soul, they are really subtle in the back there as the drum line itself. The swing is nice, but it would be great to hear more motions in the drums themselves and bring them to the front, letting them have our attention with some unexpected transitions every now and then. Echo is superb melody making with vocal samples as per usual and the beat transition is there at 3:25 going into this interesting halftime shape with some triplet snares, but it goes back so fast, leaves me wanting more of that. That said, apologies for the unsolicited advice. This is a great EP Ocean, thank you!
This gives me absolute goosebumps.. Perfection. 🤩
that’s the stuff
