We have all had our own little dream world at some point. A place that is bizarre and ungoverned but also feels safe and familiar. American songwriter Jenny Gillespie captures that feeling in sound form. Her latest single ‘Dhyana By The River’ from her new album Cure For Dreaming is a mystifying baroque pop song with eccentric hints of everything from folk and jazz to prog and opera. Throw in a voice on par with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush and the end result is a romantic and spiritual alternative pop tune that simply makes time stand still. Her gentle balladry sounds like the soundtrack to another world, one far more emotional and mystifying.

Her latest album ‘Cure For Dreaming’ is out 13th May
