"The only place where you're truly free."

Leo Kalyan, the man behind last year's "Golden Age" and "Get Your Love", is preparing to release his next single "Daydream" in April. Over a dense mix of live instruments and richly produced electronics, Kalyan croons in a breathy style that blurs the lines between R&B and soul. A little more mellow than "Golden Age", "Daydream" finds its power in the marching (but spacious) beat behind the track. Coupling that with a chant-like refrain, Kalyan's exploration of his own mind becomes a soaring pop epic. "'Daydream' is a song about your imagination being the only place where you're truly free," Kalyan explains. "It's obviously a fleeting experience, but a lot of writers say that they get their best ideas when they're on the verge of sleep: that little space between sleeping and waking. 'Daydream' is about stumbling through that particular pocket of my imagination."
