What I like, having created this lovely community, is the kind of "chain reaction" that we set off. To jog your memory, here's a quick recap. We have in our team Luna Keller, a fantastic songwriter who's also a member of the IMC Family (Artists we trust the most, after 5 features). Luna introduced us to Jacqueline Loor, who joined the IMC Family last month. Then Jacqueline Loor introduced us to Marina Bennett. What happened next? Marina Bennett introduced us to Willow Stephens. And guess what? Sabrina Carmen worked with Willow Stephens. The chain continues.

From the first seconds of "Dreaming Wide Awake", when you discover the voice of Sabrina Carmen, you stay with your mouth wide open and you just tell yourself "oh wow". A crystal clear voice, very comfortable, and which also makes us feel at ease. As if we had just sat on a cloud. Let's go on a magical adventure!

When the chorus is revealed, we discover that our artist has an incredible vocal range. So at ease, even in the highest notes, Sabrina even makes us reach the stratosphere with her magnificent vocal flights. But it is when the second chorus comes that we then perceive all the vocal power of the young woman.

With a very poetic background, "Dreaming Wide Awake" invites you on a magical, almost mystical journey, between dreams and reality, with a very positive message with a light and pure atmosphere.

And at the end of the bridge, when the final chorus takes you off to the stars, something fabulous happens. You can feel your arm hairs rising vertically. You feel chills all over your body. It's like time stands still. The thrill. The one we look forward to when we come to discover new songs on IMC. Here it is!

When we reoriented the platform in 2017 towards strong emotions, we did not expect to receive so much from our artists. They will always amaze us.

And even more amazing: this single is only the second single from Sabrina Carmen. As much to tell you that you will still have chills for a long time with her

Sabrina lost her mother to breast cancer when she was 13. And since then, her passion for writing has never left her. A common point with Ryan Nealon, who had moved us to tears a few weeks ago with the music video of "Not Coming Home". We are delighted to see that music helps people cope with the terrible tragedies of life. I also admit that without Indie Music Center, I would have struggled to cope with my GF's cancer in 2016.

Life is made of surprises. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. But I remember a line the character Beth said in "This Is Us" TV series: "Tragedies are the only foundation of our lives."

Sabrina opened the doors of her universe to us, made of poetry, reverie, and delicacy. "Dreaming Wide Awake" is out today and is only the beginning of the next chapter of her incredible adventure. Thanks for the thrills!

Lyrics

Sitting under stars 

In a sea of lights

Compass of my heart 

Navigate the skies 

The great unknown, where oceans flow, I ride the higher tide 

Painted dreams, and fantasies, open up my eyes 

Dreaming wide awake

Dreaming wide awake

If I fall asleep, would you follow me to the other side?

Dreaming wide awake

Corners of my mind

Find a quiet place

Endless pools that shine

Longing to escape 

The great unknown, where oceans flow, I ride the higher tide 

Painted dreams, and fantasies, open up my eyes 

Dreaming wide awake

Dreaming wide awake

If I fall asleep, would you follow me, to the other side?

Dreaming wide awake

If I wake tonight, it may be the last time

Two worlds intertwined, meet me at the divide 

If I wake tonight (it may be the last time)

Fighting with my mind…

Dreaming wide awake

Dreaming wide awake

If I fall asleep, would you follow me to the other side?

Dreaming wide awake
