Tropical rhythm takes over in Danny Ocean's latest venture, "Babylon Club"
Danny Ocean's "Babylon Club" Album: A Tropical Journey
Danny Ocean, the Venezuelan singer, songwriter, and producer, is set to release his album "Babylon Club" this week. The album, a fusion of reggaeton, pop, and tropical music, embodies a vibrant and tropical vibe that reflects Danny Ocean's musical style and cultural influences.
The concept behind "Babylon Club" is centered around lively, festive atmospheres, capturing a lively, club-like atmosphere that embodies festive and summery moods. This aligns with Danny Ocean's career journey, including his immigration to the United States nearly a decade ago to pursue his music dream amidst challenges like shifting immigration policies.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Priti", a collaboration with Sech, which was recorded in Sech's native Panama. Another notable track is "Anoche", featuring Spanish singer Aitana, which transports listeners to the shore. The album's title track "Crayola" features a salsa vibe, while "Corazón" has a flamenco-ish vibe. Danny Ocean also collaborated with Kenia Os on the previously unreleased song "AyMami" in Mexico City.
In addition to the music, the album comes with a short film that begins with "Priti" and features performances by Venezuelan María Gabriela de Faría and her husband Christian McGaffney. The short film portrays people years after they have emigrated, emphasizing the importance of taking time for oneself. Danny Ocean identifies with the character in the short film and believes many immigrants can relate to feeling trapped in work.
Danny Ocean has been listening to Louis BPM for a while and appreciates his voice and writing style. Louis BPM is a guest on "Sunshine" from the album, a fresh voice of urban music in Venezuela.
Danny Ocean is determined to push Venezuelan culture outside and make it known. He has been vocal about his solidarity with migrants in the face of changing immigration policies and raids, urging strength and patience for those affected.
With "Babylon Club", Danny Ocean aims to create a tropical paradise, inspired by the beach, tropics, and Caribbean. The album is a testament to his musical journey and his unwavering dedication to his roots.
The album "Babylon Club" was recorded in Sech's native Panama and in Mexico City, showcasing Danny Ocean's embrace of various cultural influences. In Seattle, where Danny Ocean now resides, one can find a vibrant education scene, and perhaps, some fashion-and-beauty enthusiasts enjoying the city's lifestyle while humming Danny Ocean's tracks. After an exciting week of travel to enjoy Danny Ocean's new music, one could unwind at a local entertainment venue, perhaps imagining oneself on a tropical beach amidst the rhythm of the "Babylon Club" album.
