Making waves across New York City, Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet make their return to releasing with an emphatic cover of Blondie’s ‘Dreaming’. Influenced by a vast range of punk, rock and pop, whilst being spurred on by a feministic underbelly, the group look to make a name for themselves as they head into 2025.
As the single comes pounding out the speakers, Brea Fournier and co return to the airwaves with a defiant euphoria and unmatched rock-n-roll attitude. Approaching the seventies classic with a vibrant stomp, the single pays homage to Blondie with its reinterpretation of a generation’s favourite crunching guitar lines and unparalleled rhythm section. With the release even coming approved by Debbie Harry, it was about time someone bought the Blondie back catalogue into the new generation – and its clear so see the Dream Ballet have done just that.
Commenting on the single, the band dive in, “As a theatrical pop-rock band with an eclectic sound, Blondie has long been a tremendous inspiration of ours. “Dreaming” in particular is an electric song and we are so proud that it will be our third release with producer Barb Morrison, a frequent collaborator of Debbie Harry and Blondie. In these current times, oppressive circumstances demand revolutionary thought. Daring to dream is a rebellious act in itself that speaks to Blondie’s punk roots in a way that is now more relevant and necessary than ever. ‘Dreaming is free’ is our mantra for creating a better world and celebrating each moment of joy and community as we do so”.
