The songs on James Rose’s latest EP, "Lullabies to the Ocean," are about finding happiness in far-flung destinations. For Rose, it was the sights and sounds of the Pacific Coast. On "Lullabies to the Ocean," which shares the name of his forthcoming EP, Rose speaks as a former spectator whose finally found, and marked, his little corner of the world. The sunny track, which takes on seventies soft rock with a gentle folk melody, has a homespun feel that perfectly suits his whispery vocal delivery. It’s one of the many directions Rose takes on Lullabies, all of which expand upon the barebones acoustic instrumentation of his previous work.
Lullabies to the Ocean is out on July 27 on all major streaming platforms. Juan Rodríguez
