We are pleasantly surprised, to say the least. ‘It Was Just A Dream’ is luscious and witty alt-pop goodness, the kind of track that’s able to grab the listeners’ attention and guide them into a unique and eclectic sonic journey. Penned by Boston-based newcomer Jaxyn Lethe, the record is introspective and relatable, drawing the listener into a dreamlike state. In our minds, it echoed the likes of Alice in Wonderland, for the quirky and outlandish soundscape created in the song, combined with ethereal vocals and bucolic harmonies. Sonically, ‘It Was Just A Dream’ builds over fast-paced, hyper-electronica, creating a whimsical and captivating atmosphere that keeps the listener hooked. Dazzling arpeggios, playful synths and intricate beats weave together to create a dynamic and infectious sound that’s hard to resist.
Of course, if you have been following Jaxyn Lethe for a while, you’ll be aware of how good she is. Her talent for crafting unique and captivating sonic experiences is unparalleled: debuting only last year, she’s already showcased a knack for experimental and ground-breaking pop matter, managing to carve out a distinct sound that’s truly her own.
Lyrically, the track recalls dreaming about an unrequited love interest, and the pressure and anxiety that comes with it. The track’s introspective nature is what makes it truly stand out, as Lethe’s lyrics are both relatable and deeply personal.
