Bleep

After projecting herself into the future for her eighth (but chronologically third) album LP.8, Kelly Lee Owens picks up that scintillating thread of vocal led electronic productions and weaves it into her latest record. Built off the back of a breakup that evolved into total transcendence, Dream State is the stratospheric next step in Owens’ evolution, combining thumping, rave-influenced pop anthems with progressive pastorals like ‘Ballad (In The End)’ cloudlike with oscillating organ tones. Crystalline pianos are encased in seafoam on the propulsive ‘Higher’ while the joyfully irradiated lead synths of ‘Sunshine’ sway over swishing rhythms.
