Al Stargazer takes us to the summer sunshine of California, with his nostalgic and dreamy new single, ‘Ocean Drive’. We’re instantly captivated by the track, which has a vibe of sun, sand, and the wind blowing in our hair as we take a trip along the Pacific Coast.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Al Stargazer takes his inspiration for the track from his wife, and indeed credits her as the most important person in the making the song. The pair moved with their family to California during the pandemic, and the relocation has also played a part in influencing his musical style, which is further supported by the music video, shot in and around Malibu, and Santa Monica.<\/p>\n

‘Ocean Drive’ is a romantic and passionate track, and should resonate with listeners as they contemplate ways their lives have been changed during the Covid-19 crisis. It’s Al’s belief that through music we are able to live several lives at once, and in so doing, effectively create sculptures of the memories and emotions, which can be returned to over and over again. With ‘Ocean Drive’ he hopes that listeners will return to that summer feeling – even though it’s September.<\/p>\n
