Bleach Dreamer – Girl’s Night

There’s something about the way some artists and bands write, compose, and produce their music that immediately resonates with the crowd. Still, music outlets capable of doing it so become so rare nowadays. To achieve that level of brilliance, artists and bands need to possess experience, knowledge, and creativity that go far beyond mere reasoning. Bleach Dreamer is definitely one of those songwriters, producers, and musicians whose music caught our eyes and ears since day one. Since we heard songs like “Paradise Cove,” “Last Train To Midnight,” or the exceptional extended play release “Surrender,” we knew this Canadian artist is one of the very few music producers who knows how to craft music that tackles all the senses. Now, he returns with “Girl’s Night,” a marvelous release consisting of two incredible compositions that further position him as a master of the contemporary dream pop scene. By teaming up with Niki Grossi, an outstanding vocalist whose impressive range elevates these songs to new heights, he created two catchy, memorable, captivating songs that will immediately end up on your playlist. Lyrically, as the artist stated, both compositions examine the rush of falling for someone to the choice to hold on when love is tested. Bleach Dreamer so vividly explores various sentiments, moods, situations, and circumstances, so these songs will immediately resonate with the listeners. Sonically, besides dream pop, you may stumble upon some of the finest properties of the eighties synth pop, synthwave, and new wave. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Quite the contrary, both “Hits Me Like A Thunder” and “Hold On” carry subtle touches of eighties electronic music and contemporary pop, vividly hearable in the way these songs have been produced. When you take a deep dive and examine those songs properly, you’ll also find many hidden layers, embellishments, elements, details, nuances, and surprises, so “Girl’s Night” definitely rewards repeated listens. It’s surely one of those releases that will not only appeal to the longtime dream pop fans, but even the pickiest music enthusiasts looking for music written and performed deeply from the heart.

“Hits Me Like A Thunder” commences with lush synth sequences, preparing the listener for such a fascinating listening experience. The synth works expand in the form of enchanting pads, harmonies, and melodies, which are nicely paired with equally impressive chord progressions. Together, synths and guitars create a calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal, otherworldly ambiance that indulges the listener’s senses with each theme, melody, harmony, chord progression, pad, and any other sonic maneuver. Niki Grossi’s impressive vocal performance tastefully balances all the low, mid, and high notes with precision and finesse, commanding attention, elevating and decorating every orchestration, guiding listeners through this epic listening experience, and bringing more emotional depth to an already captivating song. Beneath those lush synth and guitar works, you’ll notice how much clarity, depth, warmth, and heaviness bass guitar provides. It brings more detail, complexity, and groove in such an elegant way, without even spoiling the remainder of the instrumentation. It’s also good to mention that it beautifully merges the mentioned orchestrations and rhyhtmic patterns. Speaking of the rhyhtmic patterns, “Hits Me Like A Thunder” is empowered with expertly programmed beats, breaks, fills, accentuations, and other rhyhtmic patterns that flawlessly keep everything in line while dictating groove and pace. “Hold On” continues in the same manner, but it also leans much more towards eighties dream pop, synth pop, and new wave sound. The way multiple synth layers articulate together goes beyond comprehension so many times. They are vividly hearable in the mix, but so gentle, mellow, subtle, and ear-appealing. Bleach Dreamer assembled themes and melodies that immediately penetrate your listening apparatus and refuse to let go, and that’s the case with this song as well. “Hold On” has that addictive, hypnotic, irresistible quality, and once you hear it, you’ll sing and hum those melodies all the time. The artist also included fuzzy guitars heavily drenched in rotary effect to cut that mellowness a little bit, and it works like a charm for this song. Somehow, that noise serves as a counterbalance to all those calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal themes. Once again, Niki Grossi’s voice uplifts this listening experience to new heights, making this composition a mandatory addition to any playlist. It’s also one of those songs that invites you to spin this double single all over again.

Bleach Dreamer is a one-of-a-kind music producer whose music captivates you from the moment you press play. With “Girl’s Night,” he delivers two exceptional songs that not only enchant you with every vocal, sonic, and rhyhtmic maneuver, but also transport you straight back to the eighties, when dream pop, synth pop, and new wave ruled the airwaves. If you love your dream pop music as soulful, passionate, sincere, and otherworldly as it could possibly be, then you should not miss “Girl’s Night.”
