The new album “One World” will be the first original studio album from Billy Ocean in more than 10 years. Initially, the album was planned for April 17, but due to the pandemic, the release date was rescheduled for September 4. The new material will feature twelve new tracks co-written by the artist and producer Barry Eastmond. This will be Billy Ocean’s eleventh studio album. The title track of the album was released January this year.
As seen in his official website, Ocean made the following announcement for his upcoming album:
“One World’ is my first original studio album in over 10 years. It’s like a landmark for my 70th birthday! I feel this album reflects my maturity, and the many genres of music I’ve been exposed to – coming from the Caribbean as a little boy influenced by calypso music, to growing up in the East End of London, where music was so wonderfully diverse. I truly feel ‘One World’ has captured all of my musical influences over the years. The album reflects my thoughts, and the way that I feel at 70 years old, but most of all I hope that it will make people stop and think about life and its meaning.”
On April 17 Billy Ocean released a second single called “All Over The World”.
In a recent Instagram update, fans were informed that the Bath Festival, where Billy will perform tracks from his new album, has been postponed for May 29th and 30th, 2021.
