Zsela: 4 Dreams

Introducing 4 Dreams by R&B outsider Zsela including No World’s Daniel Aged and film composer Taul Katz. Cover art by Naudline. Out on May 8.

4 Dreams unfolds across four tracks, each shaped by enveloping harmonies of cinematic strings, FM synth textures, humid bass drones, and Zsela’s soulful vocals.

While the project marks a departure from her debut Big For You (Mexican Summer, 2024), traces of soul, jazz, and R&B remain deeply embedded. Her humming, jazz-inflected vocal lines—rich with subtle key changes—continue to draw the listener inward.
 This shift toward ambient and instrumental work extends ideas first explored in her collaborations with Actress on 'Angel’s Pharmacy'. 4 Dreams shares an atmospheric, neo-classical sensibility while also echoing the legacy of spiritual jazz pioneers such as Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby.

At its heart, 4 Dreams is a record that’s entrenched in jazz, soul and classical minimalism rather than throwaway numbing music, of the contemporary variety. The cover art is a detail of a painting by American-Haitian visual artist Naudline Pierre.

Originally commissioned for the exhibition Seven Heavenly Senses at Hôtel de la Marine in Paris and curated by Olivier Berggruen.
