When approaching ‘Present Dreams’, the listening experience is surprising, dreamy and bucolic. While it could be described as pop, it is also much more, a complex layering of electronic euphoria, balanced over arpeggiated, bright synths and modern drum machines. Genevieve Sovereign – the talent behind the project – offers a stunning vocal performance, showcasing her light and angelic tone, fully crowning the kaleidoscopic sonic framework championed by the record.
Emerging from Melbourne, Australia, Sovereign has been working with production partner Ben Tenison for a while now, crafting a specific artistic vision that seems to now be paying off. ‘Present Dreams’ is the third single in a series of collaborative works penned by the pair. The alchemy is there, and working well: Sovereign elegant tone is the perfect match for Tenison’s long and dynamic soundscapes.
What’s more, seasoned multi-genre mix engineer Dee Cowan joins the team, delivering a high-level record that’s set to conquer audiences far and wide. How could it not? The dreamy and ethereal energy is there, so fiercely driven by Sovereign’s charm and gravitas. A really good effort.
