Rosie Frater-Taylor Shares New Single ‘In A Dream’
Critically-acclaimed jazz/folk artist Rosie Frater-Taylor shares her new single In A Dream, an original track taken from the upcoming Deluxe version of her third album Featherweight, out everywhere on 21st November.
What drew me towards this song was its warmth and comforting vibes that make it perfect for a laid-back weekend alone with my thoughts. Rosie Frater-Taylor's delicate vocals and enchanting harmonies are definitely the star of the song as they exude raw emotion and soul while floating effortlessly over the heartwarming production. Inspired by traditional folk music, but with her distinctive jazz twist, In A Dream is a hypnotic, folk-pop-infused ballad with effortless storytelling being flawlessly delivered through her delicate vocals that are accompanied by lush acoustic guitar riffs seamlessly intertwined with subtle drum beats, gentle ukuleles and rhythms that come together to create an overall soft, comforting atmosphere.
Speaking about the song, Rosie said,
On ‘In A Dream’, you can hear it in the vocal tone and softer touches throughout the track, which I think gives away its origin. I love the innocence of those early recordings, especially when contrasted with my current lead vocals and electric guitars. At the time, I remember doubting the limitations of recording everything with just a £200 condenser mic, but I’ve come to embrace the process. It’s not about the gear—it’s about the musical choices. Say what you will about a £200 microphone, but I’m still using that very same one, and it works with my voice. Maybe it’s because it’s so dynamic; it picks up every nuance of the voice. This song represents the essence of how I produce music today, and I’m proud to finally share the finished version. I truly believe it’s earned its place on Featherweight Deluxe—mixed, mastered, and polished by Steve Taylor, who also plays drums on the track.
