The superb vocalist Leandra Ramm releases her fabulous debut single, “Dream Angel,” that creatively intermingles the genres of Pop and Classical music. What happens when you take these genres and put them together with a magnificent singer? A song that is truly innovating and stylish. There are two versions of “Dream Angel” and both are equally impressive. Taking the musical composition from Bach’s Prelude in C Major and writing an original vocal line gives inspiration to Ramm as she performs with a rich and exquisite vocal range. Her strong opera voice surges with a highly polishes style and grace. Now take this single as a remix and the end result is wonderful. You can hear the vibrant beats with electrifying pulses as Ramm takes her song and spins it into a terrific modern Pop version. If you’re a fan of Pop and Classical music, then the single, “Dream Angel,” will surprise and amaze you as Ramm proves to be a powerful vocalist in either style of music.
