“Written while watching the 1984 classic Sixteen Candles; the song the artist shares “"This song is written about a friend that I had feelings for, but I knew it would not go any further. I always saw him as my Jake Ryan. He does not and will never know this was written about him. But it has become one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written."
The song itself is fun, 1980s synth-pop (produced by Party Nails); with a backdrop of shimmering, synthetic sounds.
The vocals soar throughout, adding a cathartic power ballad element to the mix; an invitation for you to belt this song out and release all of your pent-up emotions.
I absolutely love the music video; which is a blend of a high-school rom-com scenario with a sci-fi alien invasion, all intertwined with the singer performing in front of a glitter curtain (glitter curtains have been an obsession of mine for quite some time, although I still have not managed to buy one, mostly due to the pretty mild obstacle of having to put them up).
Not Your Dream Girl is creative, it is unique, and it comes from an artist who has a love of a lot of art forms, and pours her imagination into everything that she does…”
