Platinum-certified dance-pop artist, Rêve has unveiled her vibrant new track, ‘Whitney’, via Universal Music Canada, 31 East, and Astralwerks.
Produced by Joel Stouffer and Banx & Ranx, ‘Whitney’ is a dedication to the many artists that the Montreal-born artist grew up admiring with the hopes that one day she too could make people feel the way that her idols made her feel.
Written by Rêve and Joel Stouffer, ‘Whitney’ brings the chart-topping artist’s vision and younger self to life in a colourful vibe and groove featuring a touch of nostalgia with an interpolation of Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman,” written by the celebrated songwriting duo Ashford & Simpson.
On the inspiration behind the new song, Rêve says:
“I wrote ‘Whitney’ back in 2017 when my life looked a lot different than it does today. I’d come home from my 9-5 job and write songs, while daydreaming of a life where I’d be able to do music full time. “Whitney” was written as an homage to my childhood idols, highlighting all of the things I admired about them. The way they made me feel while I watched them entertain has stuck with me throughout the years and has been the driving force behind the pursuit of my own career as an artist. ‘Whitney’ is also about realizing that there is already an icon inside of all of us. It’s about embracing your femininity, your masculinity, all of our strengths, and our faults because THAT is what makes us truly unique.”
