Reviews Customer Reviews for Ocean Drive      Sailing down Ocean Drive      Rating:      'Ocean Drive' is my favorite of the Lighthouse Collection. I bought this album after having first listened to 'Whatever Gets You Through The Day.' Being a debut album, I expected it to sound unfinished, boy was I wrong. I was surprised though that not many of my friends had heard of these guys, because they're great! Pick it up and enjoy.     Customer Reviews for Ocean Drive Cd      One Genre By Itself      Rating:      Lighthouse Family is an English two man band made up of vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboardist Paul Tucker. Ocean Drive is their debut album. I remember vividly Tunde Baiyewu's voice stopping me literally in my tracks. I remember when Ocean Drive was the number one song on the radio. I remember nights lying in bed at University and listening to the Lighthouse Family and feeling happy and sad and the same time without either emotion topping the other. I remember finding out Tunde is originally Nigerian. I remember my posters of him as my crush. I remember desperately wanting to live on Ocean Drive. Before Lighthouse Family, I wasn't into the easy listening genre. I didnt quite get what that genre meant. After Lighthouse Family, I understood. It is easy music, soothing, gentle, uplifting and quiet without being boring. And even after I understood the meaning of the genre, no other singer, band or music fits in that category in my mind except Lighthouse Family. For me, they define the genre. Tunde's voice is a mix of clouds and melted chocolate; airy, heavy, luxurious and hypnotic at the same time. Some songs are stonger than the others. 'Ocean Drive' is a classic. Paul's beginning strains to that song will stop me anywhere, many years later. 'Lifted' is like a gospel choir song but it is so great, fun to dance to and the lyrics are inspiring. 'Loving Every Minute' is great to sing along to and to lightly bob your shoulders to. 'The Way You Are' is a gentle tune with positive lyrics. 'Keep Remembering' is a blues-y oldie kind of song you will fall in love with. and 'What Could Be Better' is another fun, earthy, slow but wonderful song. The rest of the songs are good. Tunde's voice can probably redeem anything.
