Northern Rivers artists Felicity Lawless and MsEleneous have collaborated together on a new, forthcoming album, a joyous collection of reggae, world and roots-fusion songs and ballads titled 'Dream Of Love'.
The title track is about dreaming, love and presence that overflows with the beautifully harmonised vocals of both artists.Tranquil, dub-soaked reggae featuring sublime saxophone flourishes alongside gorgeous, finger-picked guitar, 'Dream Of Love' evokes a peaceful spirit of heavenly, laid-back grooves that'll transport you to your happy place for a blissful solo dance with shoulder shimmies.
It brings to mind the organic flow of Salmonella Dub, the 'Dream Of Love' roots stretching deep within the fertile earth as well as diving into the deepest recesses of the ocean.
"'Dream Of Love' is a musical invitation to live a life of joy and celebration in alignment with our highest values. Life can be the dream you choose it to be," shares Felicity.

"We set out to capture some acoustic versions of the songs we have been playing as a duo," adds Felicity.
"['Dream Of Love'] grew into an epic production that encompasses all of our musical inspirations from all over the world; it captures our love of simple, melodic roots reggae."
Recorded at Lovestreet Studios and TK BassDread Studios, in the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers respectively, the album includes previous single 'Hold Me', and is a mix of reggae and folk styles fusing Spanish, Latin and Middle Eastern sonic tones.
Joining Felicity and MsEleneous are Scott French (drums, trumpet) and Regotron Leayr, both who have played on Felicity's previous albums and as her band.
"This album is universal and joyous, deep and fun, simple and virtuosic. It has been created with so much love and presence and we can't wait to share it with the world," explains Felicity.
