Our obsession with MILYAM seems to grow with every listen. We last featured the rising star as she channelled escapism and cosmic energy on her single, Lost in the Jungle, so when we found out that MILYAM was back with Dream, we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in her universe once more, and share our experience.
Dream opens with a luscious, psychedelic synthscape with ethereal tones and atmospheric vocals as MILYAM shares the spoken word prose, “Did you think that you’d succeed this time, dream, dream, dream, I left everything to be with you…”
The opus expands with a cinematic hip-hop production with MILYAM‘s signature cosmic notions as the artist cleverly questions, “How many brains did you wash, how many minds did you f___?” We immediately connect with the concept of the song and the cerebral notions that manifest.
In essence, the track is a poignant response to a lover who cheated, but the perpetrator didn’t break or destroy MILYAM, it only made her stronger. It is an empowerment anthem where the artist turns her pain into power. It’s brilliantly written and a strong message for anyone who has experienced similar turmoils.
Dream is an atmospheric art rap expression that would be perfect for a sync placement in a TV show that empowers women like All’s Fair starring Kim Kardashian. It explores the blurred line between dreams and reality, and we deeply appreciate the hypnotic journey through the subconscious. It is a captivating soundtrack for late-night reflection, and its FCC-compliant Broadcast Edit makes the song accessible for global radio without compromising its artistic vision.
For some background, MILYAM is an independent singer-songwriter and visionary artist known for her unique vocal identity and emotionally immersive storytelling. She has earned international recognition through more than 200 global media features and has been screened and noted by the programming team at BBC Music Introducing on 1Xtra.
We have added Dream to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream MILYAM‘s exquisite, growing discography, including Intimacy, and Love Me to Infinity.
