Abby Holliday’s ‘Dreams’ is a song that will tug at your heartstrings

Jerald Juatco — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 04:38:28 +0000

The first time I heard Abby Holliday’s ‘Dreams’ I was immediately hooked. I honestly noticed the sound is reminiscent of Phoebe Bridgers but in an entirely new and different light.

The song takes on a melancholic sound combining the acoustic guitar with synth build ups and Abby’s beautiful hushed voice. It is an honest emotional tune that feels sentimental, heartfelt, and melancholic.

Her lyrics are playful – the title is both ambitious in its meaning and an experience of dreaming while asleep.

With the chorus ‘distract me, so I don’t notice my teeth are falling out’ made me think of its dream interpretation associated with loss and important life changes. The song ended on a strong note with ‘bravery isn’t reserved for dreams’ which makes it poetic and holistic in nature.

I discovered the song through Fresh Finds Spotify playlist and noticed that the song is part of an album called ‘WHEN WE’RE FAR APART I FALL APART’. Check it out here.

Dream Pop Lucy Dreams unveil new track and music video ‘Dreamland’

Jerald Juatco — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 05:32:42 +0000

Vienna-based Dream Pop Lucy Dreams have unveiled their latest single, ‘Dreamland’. The first taste of their upcoming debut album Götterfunken, the song is a dreamy synth pop tune with catchy lyrics that will leave listeners in awe.

Consisting of David Reiterer, Philipp Prückl and an independent system of digital and analogue effects, Lucy. The A.I. Lucy, was born in David and Philipp’s time tinkering with music recording software, but has grown to be an accepted member of the group who they affectionately call Lucy as an A.B. – artificial band member.

The accompanying music video for ‘Dreamland’ captures the essence of this track, combining enchanting visuals in futuristic scenes. As the scenes switched from one to another, I was awed by the stunning and breathtakingly beautiful experience.

What sets them apart from other dream pop bands? You can’t really compare them with anything else right now because their sound is distinct, combined with the concept of having an A.I. as a member is so unique. You’ve never seen anything quite like this.

We had the opportunity to speak with David Reiterer and asked about their process on creating this dreamy music masterpiece.

Welcome to Ult Pop, Lucy Dreams! Congratulations on the release of your new single, ‘Dreamland.’ As a new listener of your music, we’re curious how did you develop the idea for this project, including the artificial band member Lucy?

Thank you! Well, there’s the two of us, Phil and me. And Lucy, an independent system of digital and analogue effects, which we developed specifically for music production. Now, Lucy can be understood as an A.I. – but, the connection between her and us has become a far more intimate one, because Lucy is deeply involved in the songwriting process. So, we see Lucy as an A.B., an artificial band member.

What does the visualizer for ‘Dreamland’ represent: what were your influences while creating it? Did you see anything that influenced this work, or was it an original idea all the time?

We believe in a space beyond reality. A fictional place you create in your head, where you find shelter and in which you start to make your dreams real. With the track ‘Dreamland’, we want to share our very own and personal space with everybody out there. The track is a journey to a colorful and unknown galaxy, both for us and hopefully also for the listeners. We borrowed the visuals from a great artist called VISUALDON. The clips used in the music video represent exactly what we feel and what we believe in.

Besides the music and the visuals, what was your favorite part about creating ‘Dreamland?’

Definitely the interaction with Lucy. Her ideas have been the basis for important parts of the song, for example the four-note melody introducing the second chorus. The way Lucy processes what we feed her with is just incredible, and again and again leaves us speechless while producing.

If your listeners want to check out ‘Dreamland,’ what is the best way for them to do so while fully supporting Lucy Dreams?

The best support we can imagine is when people share our dreams, what we believe in. The dream team is constantly growing. It’s all the people from all over the world who we are in contact with via music. If you want to find out more about it, just drop by at lucydreams.net.

What's next for you?

We are passionately working on a full-length LP at the moment. It will be called ‘Götterfunken’ and shall be released later this year. Also, we will hit the stages again soon, of course together with Lucy.

Cece Vee’s ‘Black Light’ is the song to get your power back in a bad relationship

Jerald Juatco — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 18:04:30 +0000

Cece Vee’s ‘Black Light’ is a song that breaks the surface of a toxic relationship and brings back one’s power.

I got my first taste of Cece Vee’s ‘Black Light’ through Instagram and it was such a refreshing find! In other words, her sound is like nothing I’ve heard before, which makes me want to listen again. (thanks to #altpop hashtag!)

The artist goes on to say that this track is about taking your power back and making the conscious decision to walk away from a toxic relationship. Additionally, it deals with how a person can be slowly and unknowingly suffocated by toxicity in a relationship, referencing the great internal struggle that occurs as the toxic influence slowly creeps in and drains the life out of them.

Upon researching, I found its music video as well and it is an amazing spectacle. Also, not only does this banger have an incredibly catchy melody, but it also has a killer music video that was so eye candy with vintage telephone and television edited in a way that you can feel the artistry and dance along with it.

Then I was stoked to know that it was inspired from Film Noir. For instance, the dark and gritty atmosphere of the vintage film genre is captured in this mysterious visuals, with some eerie feel at some moving parts of the video.

The video was filmed and edited by Joshua Cookson. Check out this awesome ‘Black Light’ Music Video here:
