Sole Oceanna, a punk-pop critically acclaimed artist, has us vibing with her latest single, "Not Feelin' It," co-written by Sebastian Garcia, aka Rufio Hooks.

Rufio saw a lot of potential in Sole’s project and helped her pen "Not Feelin' It" along with Sean Rogers from HeyWorld Productions, who also produced this track. Sean is known for his top-producing skills, and combining them has brought us a magnificent record. Sole Oceanna stands in her authority to say no and wants to inspire people to stand firm in their thoughts and decisions.

"Not Feelin' It" gives us that sassy, bad girl energy we adore. Sole Oceanna was assisted by Rufio and Sean, two of the most well-known people in their line of work. They articulated "Not Feelin' It" so well and courage people to stand up for themselves. The vocals remind us of an early Demi Lovato with that punk-pop style that takes us back to a time we surely miss.

As Sole presents "Not Feelin' It," she immediately mentions that she isn't in the mood for people's drama and her energy and vibe are everything. She notes how she won't allow herself to be ill-treated in lyrics like "Im not tryna burst your bubble" and "But your vibe, I'm just not feelin' it." She proves that with her vocals and an epic production team, you can create a record with vibes, truth, and most of all, engagement, which is precisely what we need.

As we continue, Sole says how men feel they can be in your space even though you don't want them to, and she tells us how she's not going to allow that, regardless of who they are. She then jokingly talks about his outfit, which gives us a little giggle, and as I know, we can all relate to that. She ends it with the most catchy chorus we've heard in a while and lyrics we can shout out loud! She is fast on her way to stardom, as "Not Feelin' It" already shows us that.

Let's vibe with Sole Oceanna and her new hit single "Not Fellin' It," available now on all digital streaming platforms.

Welcome to BuzzMusic Sole. We are also so happy to have you join us today! We can't get enough of "Not Feelin' It" tell us what was the inspiration behind this song, and how did the 3 of you link up when creating the record?

I feel like girls needed a song to hype them up and help them feel their power. The song is all about being able to say, “No!”. It’s ok to say no! Just do your thing! Sometimes you’re not feelin’ it! When people hear this song, I want them to feel confident and on top of the world. You can do anything :D. The artists that helped inspire this song are Cardi B, Doja Cat, and Lizzo. We linked up through my management team, Circle 11 Entertainment. Sean Rogers from Heyworld Productions is an amazing producer, so he started making the beat, and Rufio and I started writing. I started with the phrase, “Excuse me? mommy? sorry,” (this was a trend that teens were saying to tell you that you’re really fine). And right when I came up with that, we knew it could be something! It all came from there. It was truly a blast.

Being an artist and performer, what would you say was one of the most challenging moments in your career, and how did you deal with it?

Going to the studio in Nashville. I was 14, and we needed to have five finished songs in only seven days! So it was a lot of pressure. I was so tired by the end because I had worked my butt off. I barely knew the songs. I was reading them off of my phone, so I was kind of guessing every note, and I still had to bring my best vocals and energy to it. In one day, we had to make a cool beat, create the melody, write all the lyrics, and record demos. Then I had to go home and learn that song one night, wake up and go back to the studio the next morning and sing the main vocals to the song we had written the day before. Each day was the same for all five songs. Then the last day, I had to sing all of the background vocals, the harmonies, and stuff to make it fancy. Towards the end, we were trying one part over and over and over again and couldn’t get it right. I was so tired. My producer was like, “That’s enough. We’re not doing this anymore. We’re scraping this song.” I would have never been able to live with the fact that I couldn’t do it and that I only made 4 of the five songs, so… My dad would take me outside and he would tell me to run as fast as I could around the lawn to wake up, and let loose again, and to scream to get the hype so that I could bring myself back to be strong and present to finish the recording. I’m proud that I pushed myself to have all five songs! It was so complex and tiring, but I also loved it. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

"Not Feelin' It" gives us endless vibes and bad girl energy. What was it like in the studio when recording the song? Could you explain the feelings felt?

The energy was very high. It was Sean, Mom, Dad, and myself, and they were all excited for me. I’m used to writing and singing ballads, so this was a turn for me. It took me a little bit to get into it, but really once it clicked, It was easy for me to do it. I’ve always been super sassy. My dad would call me fiery and feisty, so that shows in the song. All my songs tap into the deep emotions in me, like whatever the vibe is of a song I put out, it’s not only a vibe, but it's one of my emotions and feelings. During the recording process, I felt hyped, sassy, happy, a little nervous, and confident, so it was a lot of mixed emotions. At times I couldn’t get the right attitude I needed for “Not Feelin’ it.” My dad would tell me to pretend I was mad at him. He would say, “Swear at me and get it all out” (that was the only time my dad would let me swear at him. I took that opportunity and ran with it… hahaha.) And we would listen to Cardi B to get the vibe. After that, I would go back into the studio booth with that hype and yell at the mic while I was singing the words. At that point, I would just kill it cause the energy was so high.

What did you want your current fans or new fans to take away from this record, and why?

I want them to feel like the Goddess they are! I want the song to bring out your inner badass….to feel powerful, cause you are! It’s important to feel in your power. That’s a really big thing for me. Don't let people control you. It’s your life, and you have the right to control how it goes. #yourbodyyourchoice

What's next for you?

I want to put out my full EP. I have four more songs to release. Once it takes off, I really wanna go on my first tour! I would do some local shows, then go to Boston, then NYC, than LA! So kinda work my way up. I want to go back into the studio again to make some more songs. My whole life, I've wanted to be a “rockstar!” - Buzz Music

Ask most artists and songwriters if they know if one of their compositions is a hit upon completion, and you almost always get an emphatic “no.” You just have to believe that Sole Oceanna and Rufio Hooks of BTS fame knew they had something special with the former’s newest release, “Not Feelin’ It.” It’s a sassy, catchy, and bombastic tune that tends to resonate with listeners immediately. It’s the type of piece that has the potential to transcend its target demographic and appeal to all ages. Yes, “Not Feelin’ It.” is that rare song that introduces the world to a brand new star.

At the tender age of 5, yes, 5, Sole began writing her own songs. Her family recalls first observing her affinity for music at the age of 2. She began performing at the age of 8, accompanied by her trusty Ukulele onstage. Not much time has passed since this, as remarkably, Sole is only 15 as of this writing. She’s the type of sensation that you may consider a once-in-a-lifetime prospect, but wisely, her focus remains on writing great music.

With a rhythm section bounce, “Not Feelin’ It.” starts off sounding a bit like another Northeast act, Brand New, and their song, “Sic Transit Gloria.” Sole sets the tone by speaking over the music with a dry attitude, establishing the scene for the fireworks to come. And then, almost inconceivably, the teen drops an f-bomb to really kick the song into its next gear. You can only say that this moment will be a source of consternation, but believe it or not, there are more to come.

In all fairness, there’s no reason to get caught up on subjective matters such as the choice of lyrics. The arrangement for “Not Feelin’ It.” is so crafty and agile, yet accessible and comprehensive, that it in some ways previews the future of Pop. It takes elements of Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, and several other modern artists to arrive at something that is prototypical. Sole even manages to name-drop Cardi B in what is likely to be a divisive moment as well. Her vocal performance throughout is nothing short of 5 stars, with a youthful exuberance only a 15-year-old could achieve. There are so many moving parts to “Not Feelin’ It.”

What’s even more impressive is how seamlessly these parts blend into one another. This is the type of song that all artists, regardless of genre, wish they could write. The energy is high from the first note, and Sole delivers the track with a discernible swagger that is rather contagious. When all is said and done, it may be the controversy of this work that does more to set it apart than impede it. After all, it’s virtually impossible not to feel it. - The Indie Source

The new single by Sole Oceanna is likely to create something of an uproar if it reaches the audience it’s capable of. “Not Feelin’ It.” is a great title and, honestly, a great pop song. The content and the age of Sole are bound to be a polarizing topic though. At 15, Sole is something of a child prodigy. Hailing from Vermont, Sole has been wowing others with her musical and singing skills since she was in intermediate school. “Not Feelin’ It.” isn’t her first foray into the studio, as she has been building an impressive body of work for some time now.

Sole Oceanna is the real deal, which is both a sensational fact and a bit of a conundrum. Her performance on “Not Feelin’ It.” should and possibly will make her an overnight sensation. The song itself, from a compositional and production standpoint, is on par with “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson. In all honesty, “Not Feelin’ It.” actually holds more thrilling moments than Ms. Clarkson’s debut single. It’s the type of Pop Song that we all want to hear but can’t identify until it’s presented to us. To Sole’s credit, she completely leans into the character in the song, as any great Pop Star does.

“Not Feelin’ It.” is one of those titles that immediately resonates with you because it’s instantly applicable. Sole has gone on record as saying the song is essentially about empowerment and not allowing oneself to settle. What can’t be denied is the sheer quality of this track and how Sole is making records at 15 that are on par with anyone named Swift or Grande. Her future is unquestionably bright.

What Sole has accomplished here and the debate that she may spark is potentially massive. “Not Feelin’ It.” can inspire serious discussions about art and censorship that have quite honestly never been fully sanctified. Most importantly, this is an outstanding track from an immensely talented artist. It blends a multitude of styles, makes all the right references, and will immediately make you want to hear it again. Unlike Sole, audiences will definitely be “Feelin’ it” when it comes to her new single. - The Hollywood Digest

Being a young, emerging singer in the year 2022 can be difficult, though Sole Oceanna makes it work. At 15, the singer has been putting in a ton of work since her debut last year to make a name for herself, and it shows.

It's lighthearted enough to laugh along with, though the performance itself is genuinely good.

Oceanna puts her all into the delivery, with plenty of swagger and charisma. It's part of what truly sells the more fun aspect of the song, and without that, it wouldn't be half as good as it is. It fits in well with melodies here, which are also surprisingly varied and make for a good time.

While the song starts fairly mid-tempo, it soon slows down. It eventually builds up to a nice soft piano section before bursting into an energetic, upbeat climax. With Oceanna's energy behind the mic, it makes for some great pop-punk. The way the song ramps up is pleasant, and even people who aren't big fans of pop-punk will find a lot to like here.

The production is also fantastic on the tune. Sound mixing is stellar with no muddiness anywhere, and even the typical punk harshness is softened a bit to make for a more pleasant listening experience. Layers of sound are placed on each other in a subtle, adding a richness to the song that makes it unique.


Overall, "Not Feelin' It." is a solid pop-punk tune that serves as an establishing tune for Sole Oceanna and her overall vibe. It's obvious that this is a personality piece meant to sell you on the idea of Oceanna's character, and she executes it brilliantly. Musically it's great, and the artist performs her part with confidence and charisma. We can't wait to see what she comes up with next! - Broadway World
