unpolished gems: A collection of tracks that have been waiting 30+ years to be discovered by music lovers around the world. Consisting of rare demos recorded in the 90s and remixes of several songs from the original bounce the ocean album, this new collection of hidden gems include the never-before-heard first final version of the hit “Wasting My Time”, produced by Steve Berlin and mixed by Michael Frondelli and “Don’t Believe in Love” produced by Clif Magness. As well, most excitingly, bounce the ocean along with Grammy-award winning drummer/producer Andy Kravitz (who incidentally played on the original album) and Canadian super-producer Winston Hauschild have revived two ‘lost’ tracks with fresh 2025 production tech resulting in two brand-new bounce the ocean tracks – the poppy “Show Me Your Love” and pensive “Each Time I Pray” plus 4 never-before-released original songs from the 90s demo sessions.
