Awake & Dreaming's approach to connection is quietly powerful, and their new single "I U Me" captures this feeling with care, intention, and emotional weight. Sasha Kristoff, Stefan Schneider, and Ryan Dugal make the most of their strengths in this song by first building up the mood and then letting it explode on its own.
The song starts off with a dreamy haze, and Sasha's otherworldly voice floats over piano and guitar sounds that feel personal and reflective. At first, the song feels weak, as if it doesn't know what it wants to be yet. When the chorus finally comes, it crashes into an expansive alt-rock release that feels earned rather than forced.
The song is about the idea "I am you and you are me," and it talks about shared identity and emotional mirroring without going into too much detail. This is where it really shines. Ryan's drumming gives the song a dynamic lift without making it too loud, and Stefan's instruments keep it grounded and cinematic.
The pristine mix by Jay Dufour and the mastering by João Carvalho make the experience even better, giving it a polished but natural finish. "I U Me" is a song that makes you feel like you're in it, makes you think, and is very human. It's the kind of song that sticks with you long after it's over. Awake & Dreaming are making moments that people will want to go back to.
