BISHAT is a revelatory Swedish sensation. With roots that lead back to Ethiopia and Eritrea, the chanteuse channels all kinds of lovely soulful pop in her latest single Dream About Me. It's everything you should expect from the multitalented singer-songwriter-producer, Jane of all trades.
Dream About Me warps through a mid tempo beat that goes appropriately hard in the paint. But the vocal is that subtle mix of cool and lilting effortlessness that urges you to listen through the stanzas to what's really being said between the lines. And according to Bishat, the lyrics were penned well past bedtime. What's it all about, Alfie? Change. That niggling, growing fear of change in a relationship. We all face it. And so Bishat put that ever present fear to music.
The result is a lovely dark pop tune that will burn the soles off your dancing shoes and play at length in your head on repeat. But don't take my word for it. Hear it here first.
