Let's go to Northern California to discover an artist who had never been through IMC before. And if we present it to you today, it is all thanks to Luna Keller, who is part of our team and who is a wonderful singer-songwriter too. Her network of musicians is expanding more and more, and here she is (again!) at the heart of a collaboration. Because Dominic Romano has chosen to invite Luna on his new single "Never In My Dreams".

When Luna told us that she was going to appear on a collab again, we immediately thought "great, a new artist to discover". So we really enjoyed tasting Dominic's "Sightline" album, filled with nuggets.

And when we heard the new single that we present to you today, we took a slap. Because it's probably one of the most beautiful songs of the year. The last time we had this feeling was with "Shelter" by The Satellite Station and we weren't wrong: the song is approaching 500K streams on Spotify.

If you've ever had doubts about your relationship, this song will speak to you. It evokes the strange feeling of never dreaming of the person you love. Is this a bad sign or a warning? How to interpret this absence?

Dominic is a craftsman of words and writes with sheer delicacy and unimaginable talent.

The melody is beautifully crafted and the result is more than up to the mark! Such a level of quality is exceptional. It's that kind of song that makes you ask the question "Why Doesn't Everyone Know These Songs?", as Luna would say in her podcast.

This single is the first in a series of collabs that Dominic will be releasing this year, and we can't wait to see what happens next! Because we had a listen to his album "Sightline" and we're convinced that this artist has a huge potential. We loved all the songs we heard in this album. Every single track is a gem.

You can find more songs like "Never In My Dreams" on our Spotify Playlist.

Lyrics

I’ve been told that dreams don’t mean a thing
Just shuffling through faces in my mind
Like thumbing through polaroids now faded, meaning
That it must be true that dreams don’t mean a thing
it must be true; dreams don’t mean a thing

Past aside they may tell the future, future
What’s not yet come to be for now
Then why does your face seem to elude me, elude me
Apologies it don’t mean a thing
Apologies, love, it don’t mean a thing

ooo, why don’t I find you in my dreams?
Though I toss and turn, love
Try to reason myself down but
Why are you never in my dreams?
Why are you never in my dreams?

And at night when I fail to stay awake
I see shadows of old friends and family affairs
And at night when I synthesize the day
it’s fantasy evocations and recalled rarities
And then….

No I don’t see your face until I wake
Sleeping soundly on my old pillowcase
Yes I’m filled with feelings but this question I can’t shake
Why are you never in my dreams?
Why are you never in my dreams?

Ooo, why don’t I find you in my dreams?
Though I toss and turn, love
Try to reason myself down but
Why are you never in my dreams?
Why are you never in my dreams?
