I wanted to evoke the feeling of wandering through a dark dream, where each sound is a whisper of a greater truth. With “Dream State,” listeners can dive into a world of exploration, unearthing the emotions that lie beneath the surface.

I reunited with Aria Zenua for another re-imagining of a Motown hit. We did Stop! In the Name of Love not too long ago.

Thanks to Soul Tracks for the First Listen feature.

Stop! In the Name of Love, a 1965 Motown classic by The Supremes, has had a number of cover treatments over the years. So many, in fact, that the title may be the initial response to the idea of another. Flautist Jef Kearns, however, partners with vocalist Aria Zenua and producer Douglas Romanow utilizing modern production surrounded by vintage keyboards, and a bounce that catapults it into 2022 like it was born there. Mastering by Randy Terrill (Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Silk Sonic) gives it all an extraordinary shine.

Jef Kearns is a creative flautist with a distinct, driven, melodic and playful voice on the instrument which moves in and out of a storyline Aria delivers as if she lived it.

The single follows up Kearns’ cover of Leon Haywood’s 1974 hit I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You featuring Alana Bridgewater and an instrumental take on Whitesnake’s 1987 smash Is This Love both of which Kearns had equal success in making his own.
