There’s only one way to approach Ray Johnson, and that’s through his traditional and wholesome Americana songs. Hailing from the US (like you’d expect), the talented singer and songwriter follows the classic storyteller imprint, delivering introspective and relatable lyricism on a bed of charming acoustic guitars and polite accordions. Take for instance ‘Ocean Blue’, Ray’s latest effort.
The track is the perfect evidence of everything the project stands for. Soothing and elegant instrumentation stacked against charming and evocative vocals, all drenched in light nostalgia and bearable melancholia. It’s a friendly record, capable of gifting a warm listening experience to whoever might need it. ‘Ocean Blue’ is taken from Johnson’s third album, ‘Appealing To Angels’, released earlier this year.
Delving into the inspiration behind the single, the talented songster explains: “a poetic, heartwarming storyline, delivered with conviction and passion.” if you’d like to find out more about the project, we featured an interview with Johnson here – worth a read.
