BROOKLYN, NY | OCT. 7, 2022
“Manufactured Dream” is the 2nd single and Title Track from NADIA KAZMI’s upcoming full-length LP release coming 2023. The dreamy choruses are in stark contrast to the funky bass line and rhythmic Bowie-esque verses. The verses paint a picture of a woman and a man in our modern era. They speak of shallow lives in the instant world of social media and Ponzi schemes. A world of vanity, narcissism, and a love for material things at the cost of morality and depth. That deluded world sets the pillowy stage of false reality: the manufactured dream. Nadia wanted to create a dreamy chorus that made the listener feel like they were floating in a magical world. The focus was to create a sonic world that draws the listener in, where listeners can get lost in the sonic scape even if they’re not listening to the message on the first listen. Produced by Mike Abiuso at Behind the Curtains in Brooklyn, NY, whether you choose to lose yourself in the sound or be captured by the lyrics, the song and its infectious melody stay with you.
