Shapeshifting singer/songwriter Dreamer Boy continues to keep listeners on their toes, returning with the new synth-pop thriller “Over Everything,” out now on slowplay / Harvest Records.
The single fuses the Nashville artist’s affinity for romance and earnest reflection with his insatiable desire for musical experimentation. To complement “Over Everything,” Dreamer Boy dropped an accompanying Adam Alonzo and Tanner Deutsch directed video.
Over a soft bed of slinky synths, the artist born Zach Taylor launches right into the lovelorn chorus: “I remember when it was only us, over everything no matter what,” he wistfully croons. “We were in love under the sun, now it’s getting colder.” As much as he looks to the past, though, “Over Everything” is ultimately about living in the present.
“It’s about going off and doing your own thing but remembering when it was simpler when that person was the only thing on your mind,” Taylor explains. In Dreamer Boy fashion, the song takes an exhilarating left turn toward the end, slipping into a trippy club groove that captures the chaos—and thrill—of figuring out life on your own. “Hope it’s a fun one to dance to,” he adds.
Written alongside friends Jackson Morgan and Will Taylor of the band Hovvdy, “Over Everything” is the follow-up to another electrifying team-up, “Are You Letting Go?,” featuring multi-Platinum New Zealand star Benee. Teen Vogue described the song as “hazy and whole-souled,” while Billboard claimed it “nails the balance between pop and alt-rock crooning that Post Malone rode to ubiquity two years ago.”
Following that collaboration, Dreamer Boy will be joining Benee on her North American tour in 2022. Kicking off in late May, the two artists will embark on a 17-show run together that starts in Montreal, QC, and ends in Los Angeles, CA. General tickets are on-sale now. Taylor will be performing new songs like “Over Everything” alongside tracks from his acclaimed 2021 album All the Ways We Are Together.
