As the powerful single ‘In These Dreams’ celebrates its one-year anniversary, it continues to captivate audiences with its nostalgic yet fresh sound. Written and performed by Zoey Tess, this modern power ballad draws inspiration from the iconic hits of the 90s, evoking the spirit of legendary artists like Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Mariah Carey.

Since its release, In These Dreams has resonated with listeners worldwide, surpassing 27,000 streams on Spotify. Its presence on the platform’s ‘Romantic Songs’ playlist highlights its appeal as a heartfelt and timeless piece. The song's lush production, combined with Tess’s soaring vocals, pays homage to the golden era of 90s ballads while infusing a contemporary twist that appeals to today’s music lovers. The track's reach has further expanded with recent additions to iHeart Radio and Pandora Radio, bringing the song to even more listeners.

Zoey Tess, known for her versatility and powerful voice, not only wrote the track but also co-produced it with multi-instrumentalist Jake Siberon of Mile Marker Zero. The song's rich orchestration and polished sound were brought to life under the guidance of Grammy Award-winning producer Mario J. McNulty. Reflecting on the creation of ‘In These Dreams,’ Tess shares, “I wanted to capture the grandeur and emotion of the 90s power ballads that I grew up listening to. ‘In These Dreams’ is a nod to that era, while also being a reflection of my own artistic journey.”

Kim Gaffney, Tess’s publicist, remarked, “When Zoey first played me ‘In These Dreams,’ I could immediately envision a major motion picture being written around it. It's one of those rare songs that artists dream of recording, let alone composing and producing. Zoey is a truly gifted storyteller whose compositions transport audiences to the silver screen. ‘In These Dreams’ is destined to become the soundtrack to a blockbuster film.”

Born on January 1, 1993, in Coral Springs, Florida, Tess's musical foundation was heavily influenced by the timeless voices of Houston, Dion, and Carey. Her classical training at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts, where she mastered piano, violin, and voice, provided her with the skills to explore and innovate across genres. This blend of classical and contemporary influences defines her unique sound and has led to collaborations with notable artists like Britney Spears and Mila Jam.

Over the past year, ‘In These Dreams’ has connected deeply with fans, both new and longstanding, who appreciate its nostalgic charm and modern appeal. Tess’s dedication to creating music that transcends time and trends is evident in this track, which stands as a testament to her talent and artistic vision.
