Fever Dream – Palaye Royale
Released: 22/09/22

As their new album ‘Fever Dream’ approaches, Palaye Royale have released a stunning new track, ‘Lifeless Stars’, a compelling addition.
This track is a beautiful combination of the whole band's talent. Beginning with a short intro followed by Remington's’ raspy voice it leads to a powerful chorus with a catchy melody which is very expressive. Towards the end Remington's rawer screams elevate this emotional track creating a climactic ending.
The instrumentals include a calming but haunting piano which creates a melancholic sound but the lyrics have a brighter meaning. For a first listen this might not seem like a positive track but the lyrics ‘Don’t let nobody break you down Even if they wanna make your light go out We live, we die the Lifeless Stars Shining in the dark’ add empowerment. The guitar and drums work perfectly alongside the song too, creating a balance of pop and rock. The song is inspiring and helps reclaim past struggles.
As always, this song isn’t without its artistic flair with a dreamy sound and a lyric video you have to see for the beautiful visuals.
This single feels very different from their earlier work on ‘Boom Bom Room’ and ‘The Bastards’, which makes it even more special. It fits in cohesively with previous releases from the album such as ‘Broken’ and title track ‘Fever Dream’.
Palaye Royale have once again created a moving song, I’m excited to hear the rest of the album.
