Coming out of Canada we have Monique Angele, and today marks the release of her smooth new single, "Dreaming". The single is her first non-festive release since her "Time Will Fall" EP came out back in 2021, but I have to tell you that it sounds like it was well worth the wait.
It's one of those tracks you'll love on the first listen!
A smooth piano opens things up before Monique's flawless vocals come in and as the track progresses they go from flawless to borderline angelic, as around the 40-second mark she's hitting some very high notes.
Add in some soaring guitars and some alternative-sounding percussion and the track doesn't feel all too far of the likes of Radiohead in the early 2000s when that sound was all the rage. The sense of some post-punk revival tones flowing through the song like a babbling brook really got me into it more than I initially thought, and when you factor in vocals that can capture the hearts of millions it's easy to see why we loved this track on the first listen.
