Jaime’s Tone returns with Dreaming, and it immediately feels like a project that knows exactly what it wants to be. There is a certain confidence here, not loud or forced, but steady and intentional, like an artist who has stopped experimenting at the edges and finally stepped into the core of his sound.
The EP opens with Finally Free, and it really does feel like a door swinging open. The energy is not rushed, it unfolds. Guitars feel wide and expressive, and there is a sense of movement that hints at something bigger waiting ahead. It is one of those openers that does not just start the record, it clears the air.
Preamble follows with a more introspective tone, almost like a pause to gather thoughts before the journey deepens. The addition of Liliia Kysil’s harmonies gives it a soft glow, lifting the track without ever taking away its grounded rock identity. It feels carefully shaped, almost architectural in how the layers sit together.
Then comes the heart of the EP, Dreaming. This is where everything seems to stretch out and breathe more freely. The prog rock influence is fully alive here, not as decoration but as structure. With Phoebe Carter and Alex VanTrue joining the vocal landscape, the track feels like a conversation between different emotional worlds. It moves, shifts, and expands in a way that feels almost cinematic, like scenes unfolding rather than a single song playing. This is clearly the statement piece, and it carries that weight beautifully.
The closer, Where is it (extended), leaves a different kind of impression. It does not try to conclude things neatly. Instead, it lingers. The extended format works in its favor, giving the track space to drift and echo, like the final pages of a book you are not quite ready to close.
Overall, Dreaming feels like Jaime’s Tone stepping into a more refined identity. There is ambition here, but also restraint, which is what makes it compelling. It does not try to impress at every moment. Instead, it builds an atmosphere and trusts the listener to stay inside it.
