A highly cathartic, mystical piece, ‘Life of A Dream’ is certainly a unique listening experience. Crafted by the wandering, eclectic minds of Salem Belladonna and Julian Calv, the record finds its nuanced and sensible identity among tribal percussions, melancholic strings and Belladonna’s airy, ethereal vocals. Such an elegant and otherworldly formula provides a rewarding, witty listening experience, transporting us into a desert-like imaginative universe, a silent, limitless landscape where the only thing we can hear is Salem’s hypnotising vocal tone.
A classically trained cellist and multi-instrumentalist, Salem Belladonna is certainly not just a singer. In fact, just like Julian Calv, she’s more of a holistic creative, a music voyager ready to take the ship in foreign waters. They are the perfect artistic match for each other, as ‘Life of A Dream’ so greatly showcases.
Speaking about the song, Julian and Salem explain: “Have you ever mourned a lost dream? Salem found herself wandering through a desert of eternal night; an endless paradise only to be broken by a rising sun glimpsed by awakening eyes. Hear Salem’s lament in this sparse and ambient downtempo song.”
