A sun-soaked R&B/soul single overflowing with feel-good vibes. 

Australian musician Coast & Ocean continues to blend heart and harmony in his latest release, “Passions”—a smooth, R&B/soul-infused single that feels like a warm breeze and a nostalgic memory rolled into one. Accompanied by dreamy visuals, the track showcases the artist’s signature surf-soul style, complete with silky vocals, bright melodies, and emotional storytelling.

Hailing from the South Coast of New South Wales, Coast & Ocean grew up influenced by the laid-back sounds of R&B, surf hip-hop, and soul, all of which shine through in this new release. With previous fan-favorite tracks like “STAY 4 EVA,” “VEGAN,” “WATEGOS,” and “NAILS,” the artist has developed a dedicated following drawn to his melodic honesty and coastal vibe.

“Passions” thrives on its uplifting instrumentals, warm production, and the sweet touch of a trumpet outro that wraps the song in summery bliss. Lyrically, it dives into the complexities of young love, missed chances, and emotional vulnerability. Lines like “She’s looking for love in his eyes / Her head’s in the clouds and so blind” tug at the heartstrings, while the beat keeps you swaying.

This isn’t just a song—it’s a vibe. Coast & Ocean has once again proven his ability to transport listeners to sun-drenched shores with music that’s deeply felt and effortlessly cool.

If you’re craving something soulful, nostalgic, and full of feel-good energy, “Passions” is a must-spin.
