tee. unveils dream, if you please An Alternative R&B confession from a dreamer
Artist and multi-instrumentalist today shares dream, if you please, the second single from a larger body of work quietly taking shape. A tender alternative R&B lament wrapped in electronic soundscapes and emotive haze, the track floats like a dream you can almost touch, blurred at the edges but impossible to forget.
The essence of dream, if you please lives in that dreamlike form: something not quite tangible yet emotionally impossible to let go. It is the feeling that lingers even as memories bend, blur, and fade. This new release is a confession from a dreamer to other dreamers, and an intimate offering for anyone who has ever held onto a moment long after it passed.
The single follows tee.’s debut solo release BURNOUT, shared earlier this year. BURNOUT introduced a powerful alternative-pop moment. dream, if you please leans into a quieter, darker tenderness, revealing another facet of tee.’s evolving sonic identity.
Though emerging as a solo artist, tee. is no stranger to Aotearoa’s music scene. As one half of sibling duo Ersha Island 二沙岛 with Danielle Hao-Aickin, tee. has spent recent years exploring and expanding through collaboration, weaving violin strings, songwriting, and emotion across the duo’s work. This year marks the beginning of both siblings stepping further into their individual expressions while continuing to nurture their shared creative world.
Produced by Carawei, dream, if you please serves as an introduction to tee. in a new light, a glimpse of what is to come in the year ahead. Ethereal, fluid, and emotionally rich, tee. is shaping an artistic universe that promises to surprise, evolve, and quietly captivate.
dream, if you please is not available on all streaming platforms.
