This weekly release spotlight is plucked straight from our K Local for December. On her debut release, Rachel Lime completely reimagines Fleetwood Mac’s 1970’s hit “Dreams,”' as an 80s alternative pop song. Lime’s singing on “Dreams'' swaps out Stevie Nicks’ flowy delivery for a slightly more jolted pace, but Lime keeps the same sense of expressiveness in her voice that made Nicks’ song so addictive. In an interview with Off the Record Host Joely Kelzer, Lime said the arrangement for her cover of “Dreams” came from her own song “Sweet Dreams.” When Lime realized her original song and Fleetwood Mac’s shared the same chord progression, she got the idea to make her unconventional cover. Lime said in the same interview that with “Dreams’” resurgence in popularity, no doubt thanks to a recent trend on TikTok using the song, it just made sense to make it her first release.
