DREAMER BOY DELIVERS EMOTIONALLY INTIMATE VIDEO FOR “SWEATSHIRT”

LISTEN TO NEW ALBUM ALL THE WAYS WE ARE TOGETHER HERE

“All The Ways We Are Together embraces love in its most natural, authentic form, and it is completely uplifting for it" – DORK

“If you're a fan of music like Flower Boy's polyglot soul, MGMT, steel-pan guitar, and post-Cudi AutoTune crooning, All The Ways We Are Together might just be for you.”  The FADER

“Dreamer Boy's music is warm-hearted, glamorous and genreless — kind of like the aural equivalent of an Online Ceramics drop.” ­– PAPER

“An artist to watch for 2021 and beyond.” – Flaunt

“After the last rollercoaster of a year that never seemed to stop going downhill, the world is in desperate need of the Dreamer Boy life elixir.” – NOCTIS

 

Today, slowplay / Harvest Records’ Nashville singer/songwriter Dreamer Boy has released his next video for the track “Sweatshirt” off of his recent album All The Ways We Are Together. This tender, emotive video showcases Dreamer Boy (Zach Taylor) on a split screen, one side in color and the other in black and white. Through these contrasting visuals, the viewer experiences two different ways of processing the same set of emotions. Today’s release follows last month’s video for “Best of Me.” Watch the “Sweatshirt” video HERE.

 Arriving in April, All The Ways We Are Together is Dreamer Boy’s second full-length album. The record is a hazy, sentimental collection of songs about love and meaningful relationships, and its release date, Earth Day, was carefully chosen. Per Zach Taylor—the artist, who grew up everywhere from Washington to Texas to Alabama, behind the Dreamer Boy name—the set is meant to reflect on the ways we relate to one another, but also the effects we have on the world. Listen HERE.

 Around the Earth Day release of All The Ways We Are TogetherDreamer Boy created a microsite where fans could stream the album and contribute directly to planting trees. Through a partnership with One Tree Planted, 1,500 trees have been planted from this initiative.

 Additionally, Zach hosted community Zooms with fans to discuss ways to give back and engage in a day of action on Earth Day. Zach and his friends participated in a local Nashville trash clean up, and by using the hashtag #allthewayswearetogether, fans could share their own community actions from all around the world. This follows sending seeds out with early merch orders to encourage fans to plant marigolds and watch them grow toward the album release.

The overarching theme behind all of these ideas was to use the album as a launching off point for people to connect directly with the planet and their own communities, both central themes in the underlying concept of All the Ways We Are Together.

 “The songs are about the love we have for ourselves, the love we have for our friends, and the love we can show the environment around us,” Taylor explains. 

 All The Ways We Are Together follows a busy string of sunny singles released over the last year, including “Know You,” “Crybaby,” and “Don’t Be a Fool,” each of which appears on the record. These new tracks, as well as as a string of late 2019 tour dates with Clairo, were warmly received by critics and fans alike, garnering praise from outlets like FADER (2021 artist to watch), Flaunt, and Clash, the latter of which said "Easier Said Than Done" pushed pop to "a sophisticated new realm." Taylor was also recently featured in DORK Magazine who wrote that All The Ways We Are Together “embraces love in its most natural, authentic form.” Additionally, Taylor recently became one of the new faces of Tommy Jeans for Men.

About Dreamer Boy:

For Zach Taylor optimism is a calling. With a smile that hardly ever leaves his face, the 24-year-old songwriter/singer explains that the misty, shape-shifting pop music he’s made for the last few years as Dreamer Boy has been a way of accomplishing a grander aim. “I want to spread love and light and joy,” he says, matter-of-factly. And spread that he’s done, whether on the road with friends Clairo, Omar Apollo, and Still Woozy, or on the themes of his new release, All the Ways We Are TogetherDreamer Boy’s purpose has become clearer over time, and, in the spirit of unity and harmony, the Nashville-based singer and songwriter chose Earth Day, April 22, as his album’s release date.
