Cherise Arthur - My Dream for You
Soul, Country, Soft Rock
Oregon, United States
Overall Impression: What an incredibly soothing piece of music, I was taken by its highly emotive performances, and considering this is Victor James' first song, what an excellent debut! With its calming reflective lyrics, beautifully realized melodies, and distinct performances, "My Dream for You" is an uplifting and undeniably poetic piece of songwriting
Strongest Point(s): With its delicate stripped-back instrumentation of just piano and vocals, this is an incredibly intimate performance that is both emotionally rich and tender in nature. The vocals fit the song perfectly and express the lyrics with great authenticity and heartfelt sentiment, the singer was an excellent choice for this particular song and I can see why he was chosen. Showcasing a superb amount of refinement in tone and articulation, the vocalist handles the lyrical content with a subtle elegance that, as a listener, you can't help but get swept up in. The lyrics themselves are poignant and well crafted, and its themes are strengthened by the melodically rich harmony provided by the delicate timbre of the piano backing. The overall flow of the song works very well and gently carries the listener along, this is a very calming piece of music and in uncertain times like these, this is exactly what is needed, great work!
Target Audience Appeal: This certainly will appeal to fans of Christian-based music genres, particularly of the singer-songwriter variety.
Artist target suggestions: Adele, John Legend, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Lauren Daigle, Amy Grant, Sandi Patty, Twila Paris, Brian Mcknight, Celine Dion, Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, Ray Charles, Paul McCartney, Norah Jones
