Hybrid shows are undeniably one of the best things to come out of the pandemic, turning an otherwise distant, exclusive experience into a shared moment for everyone across the world. Head In The Clouds comes as one of the latest live music events to include a livestream, joining the likes of Slipknot and BTS. His latest music is the result of working without external distractions or pressure, instead focusing purely on the truth as he sees it.Our heads are still in the clouds ☁️ after an incredible weekend with and for #HeadInTheCloudsFestival! #hitc #hitc2021 /eJHG6jqGuQ His early track ‘Upside Down’ hit 30 million streams, which he followed by constantly working as a go-to collaborator for the likes of Kygo, Aloe Blacc and Lost Frequencies. But he gave it up to reinvent himself as a musician, first in Nashville and then in Los Angeles. He only discovered he had a voice while at college and by his late twenties he had a steady management career in Chicago. It doesn’t provide any trite easy answers, but hopefully, it can inspire people to keep battling and in time emerge all the stronger for the experience.Īppropriately, Goldford’s desire to pursue music didn’t follow a conventional path. It’s a collection of intensely personal tales of the trials and tribulations of modern life, and how we can learn from our challenges. Listen to ‘Dreams of Summertime’ - BELOW:īoth ‘Dreams of Summertime’ and ‘Ride The Storm’ feature on Goldford’s upcoming EP - the first of two he recorded during these sessions - which is available to pre-order or pre-save here. “Dreams of Summertime is a song about knowing that no matter how hard things get, the seasons will change and we will heal", says Goldford. As with the rest of the EP, ‘Dreams of Summertime’ was recorded in Los Angeles with the Grammy-nominated duo Likeminds (John Legend, Ray BLK). Goldford’s evocative lyricism is delivered with his tender rasp, while the production blends vintage Stax inspired soul and R&B with the snare of a hip-hop beat. Summertime being a metaphor for better days. The song presents glimpses of such stories, whether it’s Jenny, who can’t share her problems with her mother, or the family who lost everything after a stock market crash.
Everyone is battling issues which may not be apparent on the surface, and in many cases there’s no blame to administer either. The craft and compassion that he has shown in his recent singles is again present in ‘Dreams of Summertime’, but it’s distinguished by a subtle shift in theme. Goldford today shares his latest single ‘Dreams of Summertime’, which is the title track from his new EP which follows next Friday, June 4th.
Addressing the unsettling era we’re living through, they’ve built a rapport with audiences, giving the songwriter his first playlist at Radio 2, an extended run on the upper reaches of the Shazam chart, and a new wave of acclaim. They’re both songs that express the essential message that there are people willing to support you through your struggles and that all things will pass. While they reflect the global anxiety instigated by COVID, Goldford’s previous singles ‘Ride The Storm’ and ‘Walk With Me’ pay tribute to the bonds that hold our communities together.
