OceanLab — Sirens of the Sea: a voice in open water

Sirens of the Sea brings Justine Suissa’s vocals together with Above & Beyond’s OceanLab production. The result leans into atmosphere and melody without abandoning song structure.

Listen closer

The title track and Satellite are natural entry points. The album is especially rewarding when heard as a continuous mood rather than only through club remixes.

Justine Suissa's voice as a guide

On Sirens of the Sea, the voice is not merely a feature placed over an instrumental. Justine Suissa's delivery gives the project a consistent emotional colour, while Above & Beyond's production supplies an enveloping backdrop and a sense of movement.

There are different ways into the record. A listener drawn to songs may begin with Satellite, while someone interested in atmosphere can let the album play through. Comparing the album arrangements with club remixes shows how much a change in length and rhythm can alter the same material.

The title track is a good place to hear the project's sense of atmosphere. From there, compare a club remix with the album version and pay attention to what changes before the vocal enters. The difference is often a matter of pacing rather than a wholly new song.
