Kansas City musician Ivory Blue has released the magical single, ‘Elite Dreamland’. It is a compelling listen and it had us reaching for the repeat button!
A gorgeously picked acoustic guitar opens the release. Ivory Blue’s delicious vocals shine in the stripped back instrumentation at the beginning. We adore the lyrics which are relatable and accompanied by a catchy melody. The luscious harmonies also add their own unique charm to the piece. ‘Elite Dreamland’ evolves with the listener, the guitar changes to a powerful strum. The stripped backed acoustic comes back in the final parts of the song. What a beautiful song ‘Elite Dreamland’ is.
Ivory Blue was previously known as Ivory Black until a name change in 2018. Ivory Blue’s press release says, “(I am) dedicated to breaking down barriers and defying staid conventions.” Ivory Blue lived a nomadic existence until settling in Kansas City MO and becoming part of the local musical community. After winning a nationwide talent contest in 2017, Ivory Blue was championed as a grand prize winner and was dealt a one-year recording contract with BMLG and mega international radio play. Based on the strength of ‘Elite Dreamland’ we can see why!
