Fernie shares ‘Hopeless Dreams’, a new R&B song and title-track to the Hopeless Dreams EP, releasing on February 14, premiered on BBC Radio 1’s Future Soul and is accompanied by a video directed by Thomas Fontaine, that reveals a new angle of a brutalist world straight from Fernie’s imagination.
Fernie expands on the theme of ‘Hopeless Dreams’: “I had just stepped out of a five-year back-and-forth predicament with someone who didn’t see any value in me. During this time, I had so much trouble writing new material and was on my last lifeline.”
“I had just gotten off the phone from venting to a friend when the lyrics suddenly came to me. I have this preconceived idea of what love should have felt like and I wanted to express the anger, sadness and deceit I had experienced,” he concludes.
