Kelly Lee Owens shares details of forthcoming album, ‘Dreamstate’

Welsh singer and producer Kelly Lee Owens has shared details of her forthcoming album due to land this October on dh2, ‘Dreamstate’.

The next record, which marks her fourth album so far, is due to arrive on October 18 spanning hard techno and emotional pop across 10 tracks.

The first track from the album, titled ‘Love You Got’, is out now alongside a new music video directed by Samuel Bradley. Check it out below.

“‘Love You Got’ was born out of the curiosity of discovering my own inner euphoria,” she says on the new track. “Balancing the dark and the light within myself to find ultimate bliss in connection with others.”

Other collaborators on the record include producer-writer credits from Andrew Ferguson & Matthew McBriar, as well as Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers.
