A lot of us have crippling fears. Fears so bad they can crush your every goal and aspiration. Indie rock meets dream pop artist Ali Coyle understands these dream killers all too well. Her new single aptly titled “Dreamkiller”, possesses a delicate and wistful nostalgic vibe. The glowing guitars and shimmery synths paired with her soft tone create the ideal late 90s/early 2000s feel. The release exudes a laid-back melancholy as she gracefully articulates a stunning ode to her fears. Coyle sings,“Dreamkiller you never leave my mind, hold me back a little longer, I think it feels right.” Those lines can resonate with so many. We often let anxiety hold us back due to fear of leaving our comfort zone. The singer reminds us, though it may not be an easy task, we can break free from our dread.
The visuals also showcase that reminder, as it takes the viewer on a profound voyage of self-realization. A mesmerizing music video directed by Sarah Vargas and Michael Klein, the piece is poignant yet conveys a comic undercurrent. The combination is highly compelling, putting her quirky quality on full display.
The Irish/American talent is a multi-faceted musical force, singing, songwriting and playing different instruments. Coyle’s haunting, ethereal voice has gained her a loyal fan base. From a young age, music always had a deep place in her heart. She mastered classical violin, electric guitar and the art of songwriting. That dedication is now a part of everything she does. The dark and inspiring “Dreamkiller” displays that same strength and soul.
