On the new single, Rêve notes: “Contemporary Love is a tip of the hat to my great love of disco. It explores the struggle of being a hopeless romantic in the modern dating world which at times can feel pretty transactional and cold.”

The official video for “Contemporary Love” evokes the free spirit and dance atmosphere reminiscent of the historic Studio 54. It is directed by Dan LeMoyne, who is known for his MMVA nominated work and also collaborated on the “Big Boom” video.

ABOUT RÊVE:

Montreal-born, Toronto-based singer-songwriter Briannah Donolo aka Rêve (“dream” in French) was discovered when her performance of the national anthem at a Canadiens de Montréal game went viral. The last few years have seen her develop her sound with the likes of Joel Stouffer (Carly Rae Jepsen, Dragonette), among others. Rêve intends to create the soundscape that lives in her mind: playful, pop, and R&B influenced dance music that draws its inspirations from the heydays of 90s sophisticated Euro sound. Her major-label signing with Universal Music Canada acts as the first collaboration with Montreal production duo Banx & Ranx (Dua Lipa, Sean Paul, BLACKPINK and more), who co-sign her with UMC.
