“Sea Of Love” is a throwback pop delight from Goldie Scott, an artist from Marlboro, New Jersey. Doo-wop and classic soul-rock inspirations combine with Scott’s riveting and dynamic vocals, spanning from the yearning understated verses into the punchy, emotional chorus. The track’s title refrain plays with a powerfully climactic pull into the second minute, and the ensuing organ-laden “I’ll be your lady,” chorus.
The single is described as encapsulating “the butterflies and rollercoaster of emotions when a lifelong friendship turns into a deep romance.” The verses strut a doo-wop nostalgia that meshes wonderfully with lyrics reflecting doubt in regards to taking the next step: “I’m in and out these waves of doubt are washing over me,” she sings, with the oceanic imagery reinforced further in the excellent lyric video (above). “Sea Of Love” is a charismatic success from Goldie Scott.
