VIDEO: “Saw You In A Dream” by The Japanese House

The Japanese House shares new video for the single “Saw You In A Dream.”

“Saw You In A Dream”’ ushers in new, classic tones to her songwriting and is perhaps her most honest offering yet. Amber explains “It’s a very clear message: I didn’t want to drown my vocals in too many harmonies this time because the melody is quite strong on its own. Rather than to hide your sadness about your loss of someone, it’s a nice thing to be like ‘I miss them’. That’s why the vocals are quite present.”

The track itself has a relatively dark subject matter, yet the tone beneath the story brings shades of new light, favoring sun-dappled guitars and bright hues. This is reflected in the video which follows Amber through an ever evolving film set in a series of colorful, dream like sequences.

The Japanese House – “Saw You In A Dream”– is available now via Dirty Hit / Interscope Records.

Best Songs Of 2015

Hey kids,

The year is coming to a close and I’m sitting here looking back on another year of blogging; another year of so many great tunes.

It’s always a challenge to try and sum up your year in one playlist.  Here’s my best attempt, with my favourite songs of 2015 (via Soundcloud, Spotify, Youtube and new streaming site Playmoss). In my playlist I feature the likes of Leon Bridges, Day Wave, Big Data, Jack Garratt, Steven. A Clark, and many more.

*Note: This is not meant to be a Top 50 list where #1 is my favourite song. I love them all the same, plus the songs had to go in some order.

Signing off for 2015,

Chris
