Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet cover iconic Blondie hit

Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet have been unveiling original music since 2023, but in 2025, their first track of the year is a cover of Blondie’s iconic hit ‘Dreaming’. Debbie Harry of Blondie has already shared her praise of the band, who drive freshness into the single as they bring riotous guitars, shimmering synths and noisy but strong and performative vocals. Energised and bouncy from the first note until the fade out stops them in their tracks, it’s a breath of fresh air packaged inside a nostalgic single.

“As a theatrical pop-rock band with an eclectic sound, Blondie has long been a tremendous inspiration of ours,” the band explain. “’Dreaming’ in particular is an electric song and we are so proud that it will be our third release with producer Barb Morrison, a frequent collaborator of Debbie Harry and Blondie. In these current times, oppressive circumstances demand revolutionary thought. Daring to dream is a rebellious act in itself that speaks to Blondie’s punk roots in a way that is now more relevant and necessary than ever. ‘Dreaming is free’ is our mantra for creating a better world and celebrating each moment of joy and community as we do so”.

Hailing from NYC, the four-piece is a collective of pop-rock-punks. Turning heads with live shows from Seattle to Salt Lake City, they’ve shared bills with fellow up-and-comers, including the likes of Dog Party. If you want a band fast-rising and bringing something new to the table look no further than Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet.
