Miranda Easten – When I Dream: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Chart-topping local country artist MIRANDA EASTEN unveils her most moving release to date with When I Dream – a hauntingly beautiful ballad that captures the bittersweet ache of longing for someone who has passed on.
Here is the blurb with more:
Co-written with UK friend Chris Childs, When I Dream explores the surreal comfort of dreaming about a loved one who is no longer here – where memory and imagination collide, and love lingers in the silence of night.
The highly evocative track has already received extremely positive feedback from both local and Australian industry ears with the teams at KIX Country and the Australian CMA in full support of When I Dream, and Southern Cross Countryimmediately adding it onto A Rotation.
The track, and the whole upcoming album SOUTHERN features a world-class production team with album producer Greg Haver (Melanie C, Manic Street Preachers, Kimbra) confirming London based luminary Adrian Hall (Shakira, Tori Amos, All Saints, Robbie Williams) will be on mixing duties, and mastering to be completed by Nashville’s esteemed Ryan Smith (Coldplay, Britney Spears, Adele, Beyoncé).
Says Miranda: “I was incredibly lucky to have Adrian Hall mix the track. He’s based in London and has worked with everyone from Robbie Williams and Alicia Keys to The Black Eyed Peas. His credentials are insane, I’m thrilled to have his expertise and input!”.
The result is a sonically rich, emotionally stirring track that fuses Easten’s signature country storytelling with lush, cinematic instrumentation. With each of Easten’s first two albums being recorded over multi-year periods, the place for her third album is more succinct and distinctly clear – to take Miranda and the songs already written for the album to Nashville, and smash it out over a week.
Says Haver: “Bringing Miranda and her songs to Berry Hill, her musical home, to absorb the country music spirit of the city is a great precursor to recording the album. The plan for SOUTHERN is to record live off the studio floor over the course of a week, with me (album producer Greg Haver) on drums, co-writer Chris Childs on bass, and with a selection of Nashville’s finest musicians to naturally imbue the album with an authentic taste of its edgy, hipster country vibe.”
Easten’s critically acclaimed second album CONCRETE AND HONEY debuted at #6on the Official New Zealand Album Charts in 2024, cementing her status as a rising force in modern country music. Her work has been featured on CMT, MTV, Nashville TV, and she continues to build a strong international fanbase through her striking music videos and heartfelt performances.
When I Dream is a song for anyone who’s ever loved and lost – and found comfort in dream-filled nights.
