Danish indie rock sensation The Raveonettes are gearing up to launch their eagerly awaited new album, Sing…, which comes out on July 19th. The album is an extraordinary compilation of reimagined covers. One of them being, “All I Have To Do Is Dream,” their ethereal pop interpretation of the Everly Brothers ballad. Infused with reverberating guitars and an enchanting, dance-worthy melody, the band puts their own spin on this song.
Lead guitarist and vocalist Sune Rose Wagner reflects on the track, stating, “Sharin and I used to perform songs by The Everly Brothers before we changed our name to The Raveonettes, so our love for this band goes way back. You won’t find a more dreamy song than ‘All I Have To Do Is Dream,’ it’s the perfect lullaby in my book. We loved recording our version and hope people will rediscover such a timeless classic.”
Sing… will also feature the duo’s distinctive renditions of beloved songs by legendary artists such as The Shangri-Las, The Cramps, Buddy Holly, The Shirelles, and The Velvet Underground, among others.
