Chayce Beckham Channels Classic Country on “Ocean Blue”
Rising country artist Chayce Beckham has unveiled his latest single, “Ocean Blue”—a slow-burning heartbreaker that draws from the deep well of classic country storytelling. Produced by Bart Butler and rooted in rich fiddle, steel guitar and a timeless rhythm section, the track sees Beckham lean further into the traditional side of the genre, with echoes of George Strait and Merle Haggard running through its melancholy tone. Ocean Blue arrives in the wake of Beckham’s Platinum debut album Bad For Me and the chart-topping success of 23, marking a poignant shift towards introspection and lyrical depth. Framing emotional vulnerability against maritime metaphors, the song likens heartbreak to being lost in the tides of memory and regret. The refrain is saturated in loneliness—its sea-soaked imagery bringing to life the feeling of being adrift with no shore in sight. “I wrote this song last autumn with Brandon Kinney and John Pierce on my tour bus,” Beckham shared. “It’s one of my favourites. I’m proud of how it turned out, and I’m excited to finally have it out in the world.” He also hinted that Ocean Blue is just the beginning, with more music to follow—both “happy and sad.” The release coincides with Beckham’s announcement as part of Warren Zeiders’ Relapse, Lies & Betrayal Tour this autumn, having already supported acts such as Luke Bryan, Parker McCollum and Tyler Hubbard. The Grand Ole Opry NextStage artist continues to carve out a lane with songs that favour raw honesty over flash, solidifying his place among country music’s most authentic rising talents. With “Ocean Blue”, Beckham delivers a track steeped in emotional resonance and steeped in the tradition of country storytelling—further proof that sometimes the most powerful songs are the ones that don’t shout, but quietly sink deep.
