London-based singer-songwriter Fabiana Palladino premiered a new song “I Can't Dream Anymore” on BBC Radio 1's Future Artists with Jack Saunders.
The song is the third single off of her upcoming self-titled debut album, which is set to be released on April 5, 2024.
The track was written and produced by Fabiana Palladino, with production by Harry Craze and Jai Paul.
The accompanying music video was directed by Caroline Waxse and Josh Renaut.
Fabiana Palladino said of the song, I wrote “I Can't Dream Anymore” in a period of the first lockdown where I was staying up too late, writing songs for the album alone and the intensity and unreality of everything started to affect my sleep... I realised after a while that even when I did sleep, I wasn't really dreaming. Everything felt very surreal, and it reminded me of when I've been in the aftermath of big changes, those moments in life where everything shifts and you have to reconfigure yourself.”- She continued, “The track has this very insular feeling at first but opens up into something more emotional and direct as the song goes on. We leant into that with the production; we wanted to make it borderline melodramatic, like a power-ballad. There's real heartache in not being able to dream anymore, not being able to imagine a future or remember a feeling from the past, so I didn't want to shy away from the big feelings in the lyrics.”

The debut album comprises a 10-track, featuring contributions from Jai Paul, Rob Moose, Steve Ferrone, and Palladino's father and brother, Pino and Rocco Palladino.
She said, “I listened to the shipping forecast for comfort during the time of writing the album. I found it relaxing, but it was also a kind of escapism for me. The isolation I was feeling felt more romantic when I listened to it. I'd be playing this imagined, isolated version of myself out to sea, completely alone but connected to others by broadcasting my radio show from the ship late into the night, which is how I connected with Radio Caroline for the video. A theme across the album is connection and disconnection. It's something I'm fascinated by, and the video represents it in a way which feels specific to 'I Can't Dream Anymore'.”
