Rising Irish alt-pop star Ocean Tisdall is back, back, back again with a shimmering new single called Crying Room. We were massive fans of Ocean's White Lies here at Irish Charts at the beginning of the year; a sinister synth-pop tune which saw Ocean dig his own grave in its macabre music video.
Now Ocean is ready un-veil the second taster of a forthcoming EP, written in part during lockdown in a creepy, familial abandoned mansion deep in the Irish countryside (no, really).
Co-written with Ocean alongside creative director Seven, co-producer Mort and Bethia, Crying Room takes Ocean's dark-pop lens into deeper, more emotional territory.

Crying Room is out now Universal Music Ireland.
