Her version of "Dreams" follows last month's release of her rendition of Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend". She had the following to say about this new cover song:
"This song is epic. I feel like a lot of people don't attempt to cover Fleetwood Mac because the personality of these songs are so distinct. I admit, I was terrified to do this, but I sang 'Dreams' on stage at a BMI event honoring Stevie Nicks. I was 7 weeks pregnant at the time. No one knew. I got to sing the song with Stevie's band, which was pretty great.
"Waddy Wachtel, the musical director gave me 'the nod' during rehearsal. Which, I think meant he approved. Or, at least, I'm praying that's what it meant." Check it out

The track features Japanese vocal samples from Aoki's mother, Mama Aoki. The accompanying music video acts as both as a promotional clip for the song as well as a teaser for the upcoming Need For Speed No Limits in-game event, hosted by Aoki himself.
Launching on May 4th, the six-week in game event allows players to collect exclusive Steve Aoki wrapped street racing vehicles, including the Subaru BRZ. Aoki will appear as an in-game character, challenging players to unlock his exclusive arsenal of cars, while songs from Aoki's 5OKI EP soundtrack the gameplay. Watch the video

After his critically acclaimed 2016 release There Is No Calamity, Peter Himmelman wanted to rotate the prism of his musical engagement a bit, and so he embarked on a project to do just that with collaborator John Paterno, an L.A.-based, Grammy-winning producer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist.
Paterno recently recalled, "As I was reading these pieces Peter had written, I found myself imagining the worlds they might live in from an aural perspective. I was really engaged with the quality and depth of the thoughts, at how they were conveyed through the characters Peter created from one story to the next, and how certain themes were weaved throughout the whole set."

The new video was directed by Molly Crabapple and the new song follows the release of a string of singles this year including "Sick Boy," "You Owe Me" and "Everybody Hates Me."
Earlier this week Alex and Drew received six Billboard Music Awards nominations this week, with nods in the Top Duo/Group, Top Dance/Electronic Artist, Top Dance/Electronic Album, Top Radio Song, Top Collaboration and Top Dance/Electronic Song categories. The 2018 Billboard Music Awards will air on NBC, broadcasting live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, on Sunday, May 20 2018 at 8PM ET. Watch the new video
