Step inside a dreamscape with Monique Angele’s latest single “Dreaming.” An opulent mixture of operatic piano pop, it calms the soul and helps listeners to be transported from their life into a world for contemplative rest.
Starting from the first moments, “Dreaming” allures with tender tones of the piano, gently touching and persuading the listener towards giving in to a relaxed state. Monique Angele’s featherlight singing, in turn, tells the story of daydreams that eventually come to offset the turmoil of life.
The instrumentation gradually builds up in layers as the track progresses, seeking to more of a crescendo in feeling. Electric guitar riffs and the swaying punch of the drumbeats give depth and momentum, though never do they outstrip the song’s underlying message of finding solace in the midst of adversity.
But every good magic trick needs even better magicians, and “Dreaming” is a product of cooperation with a great team of professionals behind the stage. The single was produced and mixed by Sean Peter O’Sullivan from HIGHWAY 9 PRODUCTIONS. It was masterfully mastered by Joseph Carra from Crystal Mastering, a house letting each sonic detail shine and cut the air with sharpness.
“Dreaming,” takes you back to the likes of greats like Kate Bush and Queen, though her sound is principally classic to her, with a very distinct influence that aids what she has produced and sets her as one of the freshest in today’s times.
Speaking to the inspiration for the song, Monique shared, “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.” It is this honesty and the relatable nature of “Dreaming” that really make this track so touching.
From her roots in Ottawa, Canada to adventures experienced both in Australia and abroad, Monique Angele brings an artistic journey as different and as interesting as the music she creates. With “Dreaming,” she takes the listener through that wayfaring of self-discovery and imagination, where the borders between reality and reverie converge into harmony.
Gear up to be carried away in a world of enchantment and contemplation. Monique Angele’s “Dreaming” guarantees the listener musical ecstasies of never-to-be-forgotten character.
