Playful and imaginative music, lyrics simply listing amidst a clean mix of quirky guitar, bass and voice. Michele Ocean continues to carve out a distinct catalogue of original music, with the characterful single Fly Dandelion.
Unconcerned with genre expectation or industry norms, Michele Ocean creates out of a sheer love for the process of doing so. Despite the clear personality and variety of the opening moments of Fly Dandelion, however, the music does follow a sincere and effective structure.
We’re almost in a kind of funky-jazz realm, these meandering instruments all appearing intermittently, before meeting with the voice and each other, for an impassioned crescendo or hook that naturally wraps things up.
“Jellybeans, Tater Tots, Tacos & Chips n’ Guac.”
Mystique is key, a song uncertain in its fusion of the seemingly simple and the more emotively complex. “Love Me Why?” resounds and reaches in a different way, the song suddenly more contemplative of the self and the value of that within a greater society of beings and things that are easy to appreciate.
It’s a distinct style, the instrumentation particularly likable between vocal moments – this descending pattern inviting definite interest in the live band potential.
There are two videos released to accompany Fly Dandelion, the first a simple lyric and animation, the second also a lyric video, but with a series of stock visuals to more aptly reinforce the swiftly changing topics and images of the song.
And all of this is just one part of an immense and ever-expanding repertoire of music, from the creatively unmistakable corner of all things Michele Ocean.
