Dream Album Art

Inspiration Behind the Album Art:
Dream album art takes inspiration from thoughtfully designed postage stamps and applies pictorials of the sun, sand castle, and sailboat to symbolize power, society, and journey. Evoking a sense of nostalgia, stamps celebrate national experience and identity, whereas album art reaches broader, a worldliness, international onlookers. Both art forms, often overlooked for what's inside, could be scraps of nothing, but we decide that they should be more than that, a representation of human imagination and deliberate attention to the smaller things in life. I personally find that amazing. The bold colors and layered design of this album art conveys the essence of an explorative voyage and the potential of creativeness.

Song Description:
Dream, Voice of Maasai FT Alex Lobulu, released JAN 2024

East-west goals and far-reaching dreams, we are expanding our cross-cultural creative influence and demonstrating a bold and confident collaborative approach.

In our latest collab, Alex Lobulu applies his Tanzanian accent, gospel-inflections, and melodic compositional style, as Jessey writes about love and relationships with central characters who are not necessarily losing in life, but not winning either. Touching emotional territory that resonates cross-culturally, the two uniquely balance stark lyrical honesty with a rhythmic East African sound.

Opening on piano, Alex vocalizes a smooth hopeful ballad that captures the heart and soul of every dreamer. More than just a melody, this song presents the idea that dreaming is the first step to achieving what you want in life. Exploring connective relationships, the sensual song is a metaphor for goals, depicting a narrative of escape, while tapping into the universal experience of longing for success and fulfillment.
