My debut album!

When creating ‘A Sign of Change’ I had the idea to create an album all about love and as the songs progressed it became clear that it was a love story that was just a fantasy. And thus, Man of My Dreams was born.

This album features 13 songs, and was released on February 13th. The album explores a queer love story that many people can relate to. It starts with a crush that develops over time and seems destined, until it’s revealed that it is all imagined and was never a mutual feeling. Halfway through the album, there is a shift in both tone, and the production of the songs to show the change from fantasy to reality.

The cover art for the album is inspired by ‘The Lovers’ tarot card. Since the album is about a love that never existed, the art is in the “reversed state”. A term used for tarot cards to show a different meaning than if it were upright. In this case it is to show that while the album is about love, the story isn’t as straight forward as it may seem. To accompany the cover art, I illustrated and animated a short looping video to play in the background when you listen to the song on certain streaming platforms.
