Info zu The Dream

Die langjährigen Freunde und Kollaborateure FINNEAS und Ashe – die 2019 mit ihrem Hit „Moral of the Story“ und 2021 mit „Till Forever Falls Apart“ die Herzen eroberten – kommen unter neuem Namen wieder zusammen: The Favors. Heute veröffentlichen sie ihr bevorstehendes gemeinsames Debütalbum „The Dream“.

The Favors sind stark von der goldenen Ära des Laurel Canyon inspiriert und verfolgen einen ausgesprochen altmodischen Ansatz. Stetige Perkussion, spontane Gitarrenphrasen, eine nostalgische Produktion und herrlich raue Harmonien unterstreichen zeitunabhängige Songs, die gleichermaßen für den letzten Tanz in einer verrauchten Bar um 1977 wie für einen Sonnenuntergangs-Slot beim Coachella-Festival 2027 geeignet sind. „The Dream“ kanalisiert die intime Erzählkunst und die sonnendurchflutete Melancholie von Künstlern wie The Mamas and the Papas, Carole King and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Simon and Garfunkel und Fleetwood Mac – gefiltert durch eine filmische Linse, die sich von Küste zu Küste erstreckt. The Dream wurde größtenteils in Nashville, wo Ashe lebt, und in Los Angeles, wo FINNEAS herkommt, geschrieben und aufgenommen. Es ist ein Projekt ohne Regeln, das die Wärme und den Groove des 70er-Jahre-Pop mit messerscharfem Songwriting, üppigen Harmonien und einem deutlich modernen Touch wiederbelebt.

„So träumt jeder Künstler von einem Album“, grinst Ashe. „Man singt heute nicht mehr zusammen, wenn man aufnimmt, aber es war so romantisch und lustig.“ FINNEAS fügt hinzu: „Es ist ein echtes ‚Longplay-Album‘ im eigentlichen Sinne. Hoffentlich könnt ihr Freunde einladen, kochen und es von vorne bis hinten auf Vinyl abspielen.“ Ashe schließt: „Ich möchte, dass ihr euch warm, wohlig und untröstlich zugleich fühlt.“

„The Dream ist, einfach gesagt, ein Traum – ein ergreifend schönes, unendlich filmisches Meisterwerk mit mehr Herz als die meisten anderen. Jeder Track fühlt sich an wie eine epische Liebesgeschichte, und obwohl ich es hasse, mir vorzustellen, was Ashe und Finneas durchgemacht haben müssen, um so schmerzhaft realistische Liebeslieder schreiben zu können, bin ich egoistischerweise sehr dankbar dafür. Ob The Favors nun ein einmaliges Projekt bleibt oder der Beginn von etwas Größerem ist, eines ist sicher: The Dream ist bereits zeitlos, und wenn das alles ist, was wir bekommen, ist es zumindest Perfektion!“ (Sarah Duggan, theaureview.com)

Ashlyn Willson
Like a character out of your favorite movie or a novel you can't put down, Ashe possesses her own mystique rooted in quiet wisdom, yet amplified with vibrance and spirit. For as much as she embodies timeless California cool (northern or southern, take your pick), she's got enough gusto and moxie to hang on the East Coast or down South. Musically, she slides untouchable hooks over dusty instrumentation, connecting Laurel Canyon eloquence with UK rock scope.

After an injury sidelined her future as a gymnast, she immersed herself in music as a kid. Attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, she kickstarted her journey with the single "Used To It" in 2017 followed by The Rabbit Hole EP a year later. Teaming up with FINNEAS as producer, she reached critical mass on 2019's Moral of the Story: Chapter 1 EP. The single "Moral of the Story" appeared in NETFLIX's To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You and exploded on streaming platforms, earning RIAA Platinum status in the US and Silver in the UK.

Her 2021 full-length debut, Ashlyn, arrived to widespread critical acclaim from Variety, Nylon, Billboard, and more. Beyond tallying nearly 2 billion total streams, she took over television with performances on TODAY, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, American Idol, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Now, she turns the page on another chapter of her story with her highly-anticipated sophomore album Rae.

About the new album, she says, "I'm stepping into a fun and sexy era. We care too much about what others think of us. When I don't pay attention to that, the songs break through the noise. The biggest thing I want you to pull from the album is, 'Do your thing, have fun, and don't give a shit about what people think'."
