Drawing us in with an elegant and intricate piano performance, Monique Angele opens Dreaming with introspective prose as she sings, “There was a time, I thought I knew who I was and what to do…”. We are immediately enamoured by Monique’s authenticity and the high emotional quotient that transpires with her relatable lyricism, encouraging us to immerse ourselves in a peaceful state of mind despite the challenges of life.
Bold and anthemic drums manifest to take us on a more dramatic journey, coupled with Monique’s powerful timbre and soulful frequency. With reference to the song’s inspiration, Monique confesses, “I wrote this song back when I was living in Australia. I felt like the lyrics of this song just flowed and came out easily. I felt like creating a theme about daydreaming and living in a blissful state of mind when everything around you is stressful or complicated.”
In a world brimming with chaos and uncertainty, there exists a profound solace in the embrace of a song that transcends the tumult, beckoning us to immerse ourselves in a tranquil mindset. The sonic design possesses an unparalleled ability to uplift our spirits and soothe our souls, serving as beacons of hope amidst life’s myriad of challenges.
Through its inspiring power, Dreaming becomes a cosmic ally on our journey towards self-discovery and healing, reminding us that amidst the disorder, there is always a sanctuary within ourselves waiting to be found.
We appreciate the optimistic overarching concept of the track, at a time when we, and society, need it the most. We learn that dreaming was produced and mixed by Sean Peter O’Sullivan from HIGHWAY 9 PRODUCTIONS, and mastered by Joseph Carra from Crystal Mastering.
Monique cites influences including Kate Bush, Tori Amos, and Queen, which we can feel come though with Dreaming, although tight her creative intention to surpasses conventional genre classifications, there is no doubt that Monique Angele is designing a universe of her own.
We have added Dreaming to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we watch the music video, continue to stream Monique Angele’s wider discography, including Our Paradise and Pink Coloured Sky, and anticipate future releases from the talented artist.
