Review: "Invincible" - The Solid Ocean

When it seems that all is lost, and there's nowhere left to turn, you can look inside yourself and find out that maybe inner strength can carry you forward. New song by The Solid Ocean, "Invincible," is about rising from the destruction of one's previous life and using that as a chance to rebuild and start anew. It's an anthem for staying strong when beginning your life again and the song conveys this message through an almost futuristic musical style. The instrumental arrangement has an edge to it that compliments the song's intent and the melody throughout is incredibly catchy. The Solid Ocean's "Invincible" was a track meant to be used as a tool to keep spirits high when everything else seems low. A song that deserves to be shared with listeners and help them find inner strength.

The idea behind "Invincible" came from The Solid Ocean's own Jo Lowery when he found himself in a new and empty apartment, ready to build something from nothing. This sentiment of overcoming past struggles and taking ownership of one's life is vibrantly portrayed in the song. The songwriting is very clear and direct, painting confidence in the choices when obstacles appear and when others express doubt. The ocean travel imagery assists the speaker's odyssey, and with the choices in the guitar tone helps with the ambiance. The chorus of "Invincible" adds a nice movement to the journey, making listeners feel as if they're strutting along with the speaker. If you had to describe "Invincible" with one word it would be "strength." The song paints strength very well, proving to outsiders that anyone can power through and complete the journey.

The Solid Ocean is an act currently based in San Diego, but began in Denver in 2014. Since 2018 was the last The Solid Ocean was heard of, coming back seven years later with "Invincible" to reintroduce the music project seems very fitting. A song about staying strong and overcoming obstacles is the perfect way to continue the voyage that is The Solid Ocean. Now that The Solid Ocean is back, Jo Lowery plans on releasing more music that has been waiting in the vault for some time now. With this exciting news in mind, The Solid Ocean has taken an interesting step in coming back to the scene, and you can expect listeners waiting anxiously for the next release.
