With soft lo-fi-inspired vocals, woodsy upright piano, authentic Rhodes, and Mellotron textures, Tean Dream creates a ‘70s-inspired bedroom-pop aesthetic that serves as a friendly host for lyrical themes of freedom, nostalgia, and finding self.
RADIO is the second single off Tean Dream’s debut album Shine.
Perfect for springtime, the song is a jazz-inflected ’70s
pop-inspired tune. It is modern indie pop with a sepia-toned dreamy
feel—a perfect road-trip, feel-good, make-brunch, uplift-the-spirit,
and soothe-the-mind kind of song to start a new season and let go of
the last.
It’s easy to get caught up in the noise—the
ways that you’ll never win and the wrongs you’ve sustained or
imposed. Radio is about letting go of the games you feel you have to
play to survive, to find joy, to achieve your dreams. It’s about
being in your body, being present, and being okay with yourself—your
quirks, faults, situation… and also, whatever the hell is on the
radio. You can’t hate everything all the time. You can’t be so hard
on everything all the time—especially yourself. The song carries joy
in this way.
