Following on from 2023 November’s excellent Secret Serenade EP, Niki Sadeki returns with the incredible Blue Dream EP, released on 15th March on Manual Music.
Blue Dream EP is a heartfelt personal journey through the ups and downs of being a musician. In this EP, with the tracks Blue Dream and A Sunday in August, you’ll into the real emotions of an artist. It’s about the hard times, the unseen efforts, and the personal moments of reflection. Blue Dream EP is like a deep, honest conversation through music, showing you the tough yet beautiful path of an artist creating their art.
Blue Dream, the title track, is a beautifully produced, clean yet complex soundscape. As you close your eyes, deconstructed minor chords create a tense, frozen blue open space in your mind. Glitch percussion suggests the grind of mechanic repetition. As layers of pure emotion wash over each other, the music surrounds you as it builds, sadness replaced by frustration, replaced by pale green shoots breaking through the permafrost.
Niki Sadeki explains: ‘Blue Dream is all about the real grind and emotion of being an artist. It’s raw and honest, a track where every note tells a story of struggle, pain, and hope. This song is like an emotional release where you can feel the anger, the sadness, and yet, a glimmer of hope. It;s not just music; it’s a slice of life, a moment to let it all out and heal.’
Release date: March 15th, 2024.
