South Wales 5 piece DREAM STATE can today announce their brand new ‘Recovery’ EP, which is set for release on May 18th through UNFD. They have also released a brand new single ‘New Waves’ today, Thursday 12th April, following its exclusive premiere last night on the Annie Mac Radio 1 show. The EP traces vocalist CJ Gilpin’s journey from internal chaos to calm, with each track relating to a stage in her personal recovery.
From vocalist CJ Gilpin on the new single ‘New Waves’:
“New Waves is about finally letting go of prodigal habits and ties and riding new waves, making fresh starts, releasing myself of the past and welcoming the future. Life is not easy for anyone but it’s good to remember how far you’ve come and no matter how dark life can appear, it can’t compete with the light that follows, so I put these new experiences and feelings I’ve been having into New Waves and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
