The keen reader might remember London-based songstress Angel Murray by a feature we published last year, where we described her as “not only very talented, but also boasting the right mindset, knowing that music is first and foremost a community-building endeavour.” With an ever-growing international audience, the alt-pop sensation has so far released four wonderful singles, with the intense fever dream ‘Dreamt You’ out today. Wrapped in anthemic soulful matter and a certain liminal gloominess, the track takes listeners through a striking lyrical journey, one facilitated by Murray’s luscious and haunting vocals.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Dreamt You’, Angel explains: “This song was inspired by the vulnerability and intensity of wanting someone so deeply that they inhabit your dreams. I’ve experienced both sides—being the one obsessed and being the one placed on a pedestal. It’s fascinating and slightly frightening to witness how much someone’s perception of you can shape their emotions.”
