One of the cool things about keeping up with any new artist is getting to know their different sides. For the first two songs I’ve heard from Miya Folick, the singer chose to channel a more delicate sound. “Oceans” is different. Here, Folick starts off subtly until about the two minute mark, when her voice changes from graceful to vengeful. In less talented hands, this shift might sound messy but here it’s powerful. As a result, “Oceans” is an emotional journey, once again proving Folick’s ability as a true songwriter. Says Folick about the song:
“Oceans is one of the first songs I ever wrote and one of the first songs I ever played in front of another person. It’s a very lonesome song, so it was interesting recording it with a band. But, I do think much of what this song is about is pretty universal, so that communal music experience also made sense.”
