The keen reader will positively remember American songstress Terra Renae, thanks to a feature we published earlier this month about her track ‘All I Have’, described by us as “taking the listeners on a journey through resilience and identity”. We stand by our words: the Los Angeles-based creative promotes a highly meaningful outlook in all her songwriting efforts, a quality that greatly elevates each one of her records. Take for instance ‘In My Dreams’, Renae’s latest effort.
Released on Christmas Day, the evocative pop single seeks to remember a rather painful occurrence in Terra’s life experience, losing her father on Christmas Day when she was eight. Expanding the subject matter and focusing on the difficulty around grieving for losing someone loved, Renae creates a highly intelligent and eclectic piece, contrasting clearly meaningful lyricism with a more upbeat, uptempo pop production.
Her luscious, elegant vocals are a perfect match for such a sensible record, taking the listeners on a deceptive journey through catchy melodies and hard-hitting imagery. As the American creative explains: “It will speak to anyone who has ever wished to hold on to the memory of someone they’ve lost, even if only in their dreams.”
