JES - Dreamer

Pre-order: release date Nov. 6th 2026 Los Angeles, CA - Grammy-nominated artist JES takes listeners on her most personal journey yet in Dreamer, an evocative contemporary pop record threaded with intention and honesty. It’s a tale of slaying the machinery that asks artists to become smaller, safer, easier to consume. Dreamer is not about fantasy. It is about the act of imagining anyway. The record shows that imagination and dreaming aren’t just means of escapism; they’re how creativity survives. This release marks a shifting point in JES’s long-standing career, showing her at her most vulnerable and authentic. Dreamer is now available to stream and download on platforms worldwide. Dreamer’s narrative starts with important questions: What if imagination itself is power? When it feels like the world asks for practicality, predictability, and palatability, what is the secret weapon of rebellion? Dreamer narrows the gap between artist and audience, creating a line of dialogue that feels genuine. Backed by a distinct pop sound, JES guides the listener through the story arc from initial escape to the act of becoming, from confronting our feelings to surrendering and overcoming challenges, and finally to creative freedom, reminding the listener that ingenuity is the true power. She kicks off this exploration with “(You Make Every Day Feel Like) Sunday,” a light and warm pop track about the moment when you realize you can stop running. It’s a simple, quiet reminder that settling into life’s simplicities is sometimes the best thing we can do. The second track, “Be Good (To Yourself),” simmers in moments of hesitancy set to an angelic guitar rhythm. In this track, JES doesn’t shy away from the truth; she reminds listeners that at the end of the day, we only have ourselves. In “Finding Utopia,” celestial melodies and a steady percussion whisper through the song as she ponders what happens when we constantly wait for perfection to come into our lives. The answer? it’s in acceptance that we can truly find peace. When you start to live in the present, everything falls into place. Using her signature electronic sound, “Lowkey” showcases that words don’t always define connection, that some moments between people are strong enough to live within feeling, without overt explanation. JES continues Dreamer’s arc with “I Need Love,” an ode to choosing vulnerability with full certainty. Harkening back to “Be Good (To Yourself),” this track accentuates that moment when you fully embrace your needs, refuse to lower your standards, and are deliberate in your choices. It evokes a sense of confidence, which spills over into the next track, “Talk About The Weather." In this mellow ballad, JES asks the hard questions. When there is a genuine connection in a relationship, there should be no performance of knowing all the answers, just the strength to have tough conversations. After all the openness and willingness, Dreamer ends on an unresolved note that still feels deeply satisfying. The album closes with “Suspicious Minds,” demonstrating that no matter how honest you are, you can’t know how others think. The perceptions one may have about you can fundamentally change how they see you. Marking her final stand towards acceptance, Jes leaves the album walking into a space that lets her dreams run wild and take hold of her again. Written by JES and Richard Robson (Tiësto, Shakira, Richard Ashcroft), who also produced the track with underground UK producer Bedlam, and mastered by Jonas W.K. (Tinashe, ZAYN, blackbear), the LP also features previously released singles, “We Could Be Stardust,” “Take Me Away,” and “Dreamer,” infusing the album with a sense of awe. These singles celebrate the idea of being present and grounded while recognizing how small we are in the world. Praising the passion and creativity that courses through us all, JES exemplifies the courage it takes to reach for your goals, even if you don’t know where you’ll end up. The record was originally titled Surrender, before JES realized she needed one more song to fully encapsulate her vision; the result was the title-track, “Dreamer.” “Dreaming isn’t always glamorous,” JES explains. “Sometimes it’s messy, uncertain, and a little insane. But even when you’re questioning everything, there’s still something in you that says, go. So you keep moving.” Born and raised in New York, JES grew her global legacy by being one of the leading voices in emotionally driven electronic music. Through exploring multiple genres over the last two decades, one thing remains true: her commitment to creative and emotional honesty. She’s earned multiple Grammy nominations, has had two Billboard #1 singles and has performed across 6 continents, including a performance at the Beijing Summer Olympics. JES has been praised by outlets like Pop Dust, Celeb Mix, and Beatportal, with notable placements on Spotify’s Chill Hits, Dance Classics, Soft & Slow, and Mood Booster. “Dreamer is a record about imagination as survival,” JES reveals. “Underneath it all is a belief that dreaming is not escaping; it’s the beginning of possibility.” Through candidness, creative sovereignty, and the fearlessness to remain open-minded, the album stays true to the idea that dreamers change reality by daring to dream. This collection of songs is a culmination of JES’s musical prowess and unique identity, defying the idea that artists must remain palatable and unchanged. Dreamer is available to stream and download now worldwide. Make sure to keep up with JES at OfficialJES.com and follow her on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok @OfficialJES. Tracklist 01.
