🌊 A groove-soaked fantasy with a panoramic view.
“Castle In The Clouds (Ocean View)” takes the original rooftop soul anthem and slides it into slow-motion cool — a lush, cinematic R&B rework filled with horns, swagger, and late-night elegance. Reimagined with AI vocal performances by Devyn Cross and Sacha Rome, this version unfolds like a love letter to both retro soul and the digital future.

The track blends playful lyricism, silky vocal trade-offs, and brass-heavy funk textures reminiscent of Silk Sonic and Anderson .Paak — but viewed through a futuristic lens. This isn’t just a reimagining; it’s a vibe upgrade, bringing sensual storytelling and sonic richness into a world built on identity, memory, and escape.

At the heart of this project lies a radical idea: what happens when music created by humans is delivered through AI-crafted voices? In an industry often obsessed with youth and visibility, Luke Carter (Sammi Dae) has created a growing cast of AI vocalists — each one embodying the soul of the song writing without needing to fit the industry mold.

With Devyn Cross’s smoky vocal edge and Sacha Rome’s suave charisma, Ocean View becomes a stylish, genre-bending experience. Their AI voices carry emotional weight while allowing the music to reach new audiences — a future-facing blend of vintage elegance and digital identity.

⚡ A rooftop groove charged with magnetic pull.
“Castle In The Clouds (Magnetic Flow)” is the most electric version yet in Sammi Dae’s genre-shifting series—blending vintage funk textures, rhythmic rap cadences, and a smooth cinematic flow. With swaggering verses and lush, horn-laced choruses, this rework channels the golden age of soul through the voices of the AI performer: Sacha Rome

The production is bold, up-tempo, and full of sonic flair—grooving with the self-assurance of early 2000s R&B but filtered through a futuristic soul lens. Verses are spit with Anderson .Paak-style flair while the hook floats with Bruno Mars-like melodic charm, all wrapped in DGG’s unmistakable sonic fingerprint: rich brass, tight harmonies, and attitude-drenched flow.

At the heart of this movement is a bold new performance model. In an image-first, youth-focused industry, Luke Carter (Sammi Dae) has built a world of digital vocalists—AI voices born from real human writing, performance, and production. Artists like Sacha Rome are not imitations; they’re reinventions—crafted to deliver timeless songs with a face that defies aging, identity, or industry bias. 

“Magnetic Flow” isn’t just a reimagining—it’s a revelation. A confident, genre-bending example of how AI-fronted music can still carry soul, swagger, and substance.

Castle In The Clouds (Magnetic Flow)

“Tender Touch” was originally written in 1993 and first released in 2014 on my debut album Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams. This new AI-powered funky jazz version brings the track back to life with fresh energy, heart, and soul.

Built on a smooth rhythm and infectious swing, it grooves with dancefloor drive while still carrying deep emotional weight. The verses unfold like a conversation — attraction denied, heartbreak endured, and the hope of love reborn. The pre-chorus lifts with classic funk-jazz flair, inviting connection: “Take my hand, don’t be alone tonight.”

The chorus locks into place with warmth and sincerity: “My tender touch can heal your pain, I’ll take away the loneliness still in your heart.” It’s uplifting, catchy, and carried by an irresistible rhythm section.

An instrumental break lets the music breathe — slick basslines, playful keys, and head-nodding beats — before the outro raises the energy like a live jam session at its peak.

This new cut of “Tender Touch” is more than a love song — it’s a celebration of resilience, romance, and groove. Funky, heartfelt, and perfect for anyone who loves their jazz with a soulful pulse.

TENDER TOUCH

[Verse 1]
When I first saw you, your eyes were filled with light
We had an instant attraction, but it had to be denied

[Verse 2]
You had another lover, I knew he was to be the one
But, he left you for another, now a man like that don't deserve another chance

[Pre-chorus]
I can make it right, (take my hand), don't be alone tonight

[Chorus]
My tender touch can heal your pain, 
I'll take away, the loneliness that lays still in your heart
My tender touch will heal your faith ,and give you hope, 
I'll take your anger, no more tears in the heart

[Verse 3]
So many years I have wondered, was it real or just a dream
Now after so many lovers, still the memory of our night is haunting me

{Pre-chorus]
So many lonely nights, only you can make it right

[Chorus]
Your tender touch and your smiling face could take away the pain inside that lays still in my heart
Your tender touch and your smiling face could take away the pain inside that lays still in my heart

[Instrumental]

(Yeah, yeah)
(That's right)
(Your tender touch)
(Give it to me, yeah, yeah)
(And my tender touch)
(Give me a tender touch)
(Just a tender touch)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 4]
So wont you think about it? That is all I ask of you
Don't be afraid it ain't crazy, you can't change the past, but the future's down to you

[Verse 5]
No more lonely nights
And no tears, it's just a love that's right

[Chorus]
My tender touch can heal your faith
I'll take away, the loneliness
That lays, still in your heart
My tender touch can heal your faith
And give you hope, I'll take your anger
No more tears in the heart

[Key change]

[Outro]
Yeah, your tender touch
That lays, still in my heart
Yeah, your tender touch
That lays, still in my heart

About

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.
