oceanfromtheblue Essentials

Singer, lyricist and beat maker oceanfromtheblue began writing songs at university and built a fierce following online before making his debut in 2018. He imbues each track with echoes of daily life in Seoul—sampling the sound of rain and coffee-shop chatter. His haunting instrumentals evoke a deep blue melancholy, gilded with glimmers of warmth. Each song captures a bittersweet brand of romance, from the fragility of “mistaken” to the wistful wonder of “sHe3”. It’s music that soothes the soul.
