Precious Pepala Premieres New Song “Dream Cheater” on BBC Radio 1
British singer-songwriter Precious Pepala premiered a new song “Dream Cheater” on BBC Radio 1's Future Pop with Maia Beth.
The song will appear on her upcoming EP “Rosey”.
Posing as an honest admission of the jealous and sometimes irrational side that comes with her passionate approach to romance, the song houses dark and menacing undertones, wrapped in electric guitars and pulsating drums.
It was written by Jordan Rabjohn, and Precious Pepala. Produced by Jordan Rabjohn, Tom Longworth, and Owen Claxton.
The accompanying music video was directed by Miroslav Kiss and Jordan Rabjohn.
Precious Pepala said of the song, “This song is part 1 of my upcoming EP ‘Rosey’ which tells the story of two star crossed lovers stuck in a toxic love cycle. With the honeymoon period now over, Rosey starts to develop insecurities and trust issues. After dreaming of her lovers betrayal, she wakes consumed by jealousy and pain. She knows it was just a dream BUT SHE’S STILL FUMING!! I put so much into this body of work.”- She continued, “I knew I wanted to write some songs about romance and love. I’ve grown up a bit, I’ve had relationships, I’ve been in love, I think, and I’ve experienced the good and bad parts of those things. In a world where social media, dating apps and the internet causes more toxicity, jealousy and friction than ever in relationships I wanted to explore some of the more bleak realities of romance instead of writing a bunch of wishy washy love songs. Some people might hear the songs on this EP and think I’m crazy or toxic, which maybe I am, but I think if most people are honest, they’ve either been like Rosey or had a friend like Rosey before, just without the fatal ending hopefully!”
