Eighty Ninety Drop New Single ‘Hollywood Dream’

Eighty Ninety — the indie-pop project of NYC-based brothers Abner (vocals, production) and Harper (guitar, production) James — are back with their brand new single Hollywood Dream, an upbeat indie/dream-pop gem! 

 

Hollywood Dream finds the talented duo diving into the push and pull of a love that feels straight out of a movie - blurring the line between romantic fantasy and harsh reality. A message that is flawlessly conveyed through Abner's silky smooth vocals which glide effortlessly over the upbeat production. I am really fond of the slow intro with gentle acoustic guitar strums before building into a dreamy indie pop production. Hollywood Dream pairs those dreamy vocals with a memorable driving beat, pulsing guitar riffs nicely intertwined with steady drum beats and irresistible hooks that come together to create an overall warm, cinematic atmosphere!

Speaking about the song, the duo explain,

‘Hollywood Dream’ is about the thrill and longing that can consume a relationship until you start to wonder if that intensity is love or just addiction. It’s about the desire to mythologize your life, to see yourself inside a cinematic story that gives everything meaning — even the pain. But it’s also about how those stories can trap you. And how, even when you know that, part of you still wants to stay inside the dream.
