Dream (Single)

Dream (Single)

To usher 2020 out the door (and the first bits of 2021 as well), I’ve just uploaded the new “Dream” Single to my SoundCloud. I wish I could say that much of it has “all been a dream,” but I’ll just leave that to the song, which is my personal go-to for some grounded escapism.

The single is one of several coming from my Skin in the Game (Songs in the Key of Big C Xt) collection. It contains four versions of producer/remixer Ken Stewart‘s [Spotify | website] excellent production of the song, which also won VH1’s Song of the Year contest shortly after it was produced, making it my second VH1 winner. The first was “Something About You.”

As with all the songs on Skin in the Game, all tracks – except the instrumentals – contain the lyric “be well” at least once.

Also available on: iTunes | SpotifyAmazonPandora

Cheers! And be well 🙂

Wanna Be in My Video for Dream? Just Follow These Instrux...

Wanna Be in My Video for Dream? Just Follow These Instrux…

I’m currently in pre-production for the video for my song, “Dream,” which you can listen to in the player below, and I’m inviting those who can film a 5 – 15 second HD video to submit theirs for possible inclusion.

All you have to do is download and sign the Waiver and Release form, and then follow the instrux in this short video where I demonstrate in the basic sense the video’s concept. Much of the video is a series of relay-style handoffs of “the Dream,” which is invisible to the audience as it is intended to be in the eye of the beholder.

Your video clip doesn’t need to be complicated or fancy – it can be as simple as you on your own, receiving and handing off the Dream, or you and a friend or friends, passing it along, from one end of the frame to the other. No height, weight or age restrictions (note to those under 18 – you will need to have your parent or guardian read and sign your waiver). No preference according to race, gender, etc.

Have everyone on your video (cast and crew, if any) sign their own individual waivers, and send them, along with your vid, to llorayne@gmail.com by September 15, 2019 to be considered.

I can’t stress this enough – no branding of any sort should be visible in your vid. This includes products, product logos, names of companies on T-shirts, etc. As well, no violence, nudity or hate.

Clips that adhere to the instrux and formatting will be considered, and, if chosen, placed into an Adobe Premiere Pro video session for production. If your clip is among those chosen, you’ll be notified via email.

So, what is your dream? And, would you like to be in the vid for mine?

Have fun!
