What was the inspiration behind the lyrics of this track?

The lyrics are about a girl who you see in your dreams. It’s nice, comforting and beautiful. The conflict is knowing that it’s a dream and not wanting to “Wake Up “and face reality but if you don’t, you will never know what the future holds.

Mystical. Relatable … put that track on REPEAT. Playable.

I love the beginning of the verses… the vocal mix is attention capturing. You want to listen to see where the story takes you.

Did you have to work with Young Saints virtually on this release?

Yes, they were travelling between New York and Spain, so we did most of the work online.

This is one of many collabs with Young Saints, what’s your working relationship like?

It’s great. We all add our own individual artistic freedoms to the collaboration.

How has the initial reaction been like?

Have you found your lyrical style has changed over lockdown at all?

Who would you like to see supporting this track?

Radio stations. I think the track is a nice radio track. Something to vibe and chill to.
