I Dream
Marquise Fair
WE SAY
‘I Dream’ is the inspiring new single from soul-pop and world music singer-songwriter Marquise Fair. Hailing from a working-class neighbourhood in Miami and raised by his grandmother, Marquis first discovered his passion for music in the church gospel choir. After picking up the guitar at 22, a fateful meeting with Swiss producer David Wehren led to the co-production of his debut album ‘Ripple’ in Switzerland. Hindered by the pandemic, he took the time off from touring to remotely record new material with artists for his upcoming new album, ‘Better World’. Released last week, ‘I Dream’ is a stirring, genre-spanning anthem that blends elements of soul-pop, world music, folk, jazz, reggae, and indie into a lush, textured soundscape. Marquise’s warm, resonant vocals soar over vibrant rhythms and melodic layers, delivering a message of hope and unity inspired by the iconic words of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. The song’s reggae-infused groove and heartfelt lyricism make it a natural fit for summer playlists and feel-good, purpose-driven playlists on DSPs, alongside spins on 6 Music, 1Xtra and select evening shows at Radio 2. From its message to its musicality, “I Dream” is a track full of soul, vision, and intention. For fans of Fela Kuti, Nitin Sawhney, and Bob Marley.
