As a songwriter and performer, Jutes is all too conscious of how easy it is to lose one’s truth in the pursuit of success. However, this dying need for approval goes beyond entertainers. Everyone is essentially a performer, brand, or product these days, feeding off the love and applause of an audience.
“In My Dreams”is a hauntingly personal song in which Jutes exposes his hopes and fears. He asks the question, “If I am myself, will they still like me? Or should I hide behind an image to gain their love?” The stripped down production allows the intimacy and honesty of the lyrics to take center stage.
Listen as Jutes teams up with Aussie newcomer Noey, whose soulful rap verse pairs perfectly with the dreamlike quality of the song.
