ruben dumars – “in my dreams”

/

“in my dreams” unveils a dreamy mystique from Cincinnati-based artist ruben dumars, who describes the release as “about the fear of changing.” Gentle bass pulsations and an eerily enveloping synth line drives into a vulnerable vocal tone, admitting to feeling “the weight of everything.”

A steady percussive backdrop complements the debonair, chilly vocal dreaminess — pondering different seasons and days ahead within an introspective glow. “I loved you, in silence,” the vocals further convey, perhaps signaling the fear of moving forward into something beyond unrequited — at the chance of rejection. “in my dreams” is a resonating, lushly atmospheric success from ruben dumars.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.
