Swedish DJ and producer Ehrling is setting the tone for summer with his brand new single, ‘Ocean Blue’, a sun-soaked collaboration with Norwegian singer-songwriter Eirik Næss. Blending elements of downtempo, chill, tropical house, and electronic pop, ‘Ocean Blue’ is pure sonic escapism.
Picture a golden afternoon on the coast: waves crashing gently, a warm breeze swaying the palms, and the soft rhythm of saxophone and vocals drifting through the air. That’s ‘Ocean Blue’, a track born from the spontaneous synergy between Ehrling and Eirik after their first meeting at the Amsterdam Dance Event 2024. What started as a casual jam session quickly evolved into a polished piece that captures the spirit of summer.
Ehrling says: “‘Ocean Blue’ came together in late 2024. I was just messing around on the piano one evening and came up with these chords that had this super chill kind of dreamy vibe. I knew right away I wanted to add some saxophone. It just felt like the track needed that warmth. Then we sent it to Eirik and he jumped on the mic and laid down these crazy smooth vocals. He totally got the vibe. Mellow a little nostalgic like you’re floating. It brought the whole thing to life in a way I didn’t expect.”
‘Ocean Blue’ is now available on all major streaming platforms. Let this be the soundtrack to your season—whether you’re beachside or just dreaming of it.
