"Oceans" leans more towards the smooth-pop spectrum than r&b, but it still features some sultry and seductive aspects that have come to characterize Ali's music. Instead of one only being able to nod his or her head along, "Oceans" is equally welcome in a dance party or late night playlist. Towards the end, Bizness Boi, Th3ory, and Cardiak production transform the track into a nice moonlit, midnight soundtrack.
Ali delivers intoxicating pleads to a potential lover. He vocalizes in every note the romantic tension that is filling the air and his desire to get lost in the moment on "Oceans." This is a track about diving into a passion, rather than watching it float away. Check it out above and look out for TrapHouseJodeci on August 25th.
