The first single from the upcoming album Dark Clouds, Daydreaming blends melancholic Americana with Backstrom’s introspective storytelling, featuring guest vocals by Bart Topher.
On April 15th, 2024, Stockholm-based artist Backstrom dropped his latest single Daydreaming, a melancholic country song featuring guest vocalist Bart Topher. The track marks the first release from Backstrom's highly anticipated acoustic album Dark Clouds, set to drop on November 13th, 2024. With its reflective lyrics and atmospheric instrumentation, Daydreaming offers a captivating glimpse into the upcoming record's introspective mood.
Daydreaming tells the story of someone feeling trapped in a monotonous life, longing for a sense of adventure and change. The song’s lyrics reflect the internal struggle of being “stuck in the wrong place” while yearning for something more. Backstrom’s songwriting, rooted in the Americana and country genres, strikes a chord with listeners through its authenticity and relatable themes. The track's subtle guitar work and smooth vocal harmonies create a gentle, almost cinematic soundscape, echoing the timeless qualities of classic folk and spaghetti western soundtracks.
Collaborating with Bart Topher adds a new dynamic to Daydreaming. Topher’s rich, emotive vocals complement Backstrom’s mellow tones, adding depth to the song's narrative of longing and introspection. This collaboration brings an extra layer of melancholy, making Daydreaming a standout track in Backstrom’s evolving discography.
After taking a break from music, Backstrom returned to the scene in 2023 with a renewed creative energy. His January 2024 release The Carousel was well-received, showcasing his ability to blend folk, country, and rock influences with modern production. Daydreaming continues this trajectory but leans into a more acoustic, stripped-down sound that will define the upcoming Dark Clouds album.
Backstrom’s music is known for its heartfelt storytelling, and Daydreaming is no exception. Fans of Americana, country, and singer-songwriter genres will find solace in the track's introspective nature and soothing melodies.
