RICEWINE shares his single “Ocean” off his forthcoming LP Lovesick. On the track, he explores a love that’s gone missing with the pursuit of finding it, as he sings, “And if what they say is true, that love is a river I’m an ocean for you / Like my name I will never fall through.” Talae (his first name) means ‘ocean’ in Thai, and the song is a representation of the similarities between love and an ocean. The two are vast, often untamed, and when waters are rough, and winds are coarse, one must accept the changes sturdy tides bring upon. RICEWINE delivers velvety vocals coalescing with a unique blend of backup vocal effects, head-bobbing keyboard sounds, and an abundance of percussion instruments.
In his own words, RICEWINE says this of his new single: “Through the songwriting and production, I aimed to reflect the freedom and beauty of the sea. This is a love song about the ocean. The expression ‘Love as deep as the ocean’ is cliché, but sometimes using a cliché is the best way to describe a feeling. I wanted to make a song that expressed the sense of being rooted in love.”
