David Morin’s “Dreaming” is a silky, 5-minute journey into the heart of modern soul, where warm 70s-inspired grooves meet the sophisticated textures of jazz and the infectious pulse of disco. Hailing from Vancouver, the acclaimed Métis and Indonesian artist delivers a classy funk-laced single that radiates nightly vibes and a sun-kissed, warm-up mood—perfect for late summer evenings and introspective drives. Taken from his upcoming album Light Waves, “Dreaming” is an irresistible disco-soul sizzler that effortlessly blends danceable rhythms with emotional depth. From its shimmering guitar licks to its buttery bassline and lush horn accents, the track pulses with a soulful warmth that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.

At its core, “Dreaming” explores the bittersweet aftermath of a breakup—the lingering attachment, the second-guessing, the haunting “what if?” Yet Morin frames this vulnerability within an upbeat, feel-good groove, proving that heartache and healing can move to a funky beat. His velvety vocals glide across the track with effortless charm, delivering lyrics that are as introspective as they are singable. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and loop-pedal virtuoso known for his magnetic street performances, Morin continues to carve a unique space in the Neo-Soul and Indie R&B landscape. With past accolades including Urban Artist of the Year at the 2016 Western Canadian Music Awards and performances alongside legends like Musiq Soulchild and Hiatus Kaiyote, Morin’s return feels both assured and radiant. “Dreaming” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement of artistic evolution, a confident stride into a brighter, bolder sonic future.
