Evoking a buoyant walk in a fantasy-laden, kaleidoscopic world, ‘In My Dreams’ does exactly what it says, wrapping listeners into gentle instrumental goodness with a high number of dreamy and emotional components. Just under three minutes, the piece flourishes on cathartic atmospheres, dynamic orchestral strings and heartwarming piano melodies, with a glockenspiel-like counterpoint perfectly crowning an already striking production formula.
The listening experience is rewarding, relaxing and absolutely blissful. It’s not a surprise when it comes to 78-year-old British composer Ian Rae. Hailing from Kenley, the talented creative has ‘defied all odds’, as his Instagram bio proudly recites. It’s true: armed with his keyboard arranger, Rae has managed to write simple, poignant pieces that have connected with millions of people all around the world. They say that music is a universal language – it sure is true.
Boasting 12 albums and 8 singles overall, Ian has been incredibly productive over the past four years, truly reinventing himself and finding his identity as a composer and musician. ‘In My Dreams’ is the perfect example of that, an expansive, three-dimensional record that’s a joy to listen to.
