There are songs which one can't help but listen to for their infectious riff or groove. And there are others because you never know what's around the corner. The latter is certainly the case for "Within A Dream," the latest lavishly produced single from Munich, Germany-born and now Toronto-based trip hop singer Nathalie King. It's a song which is equally unnerving and dreamy as King's commanding voice works perfectly in tandem with the hushed trip hop structure.

It’s an age-old story: Your parents mess you up, only for you to mess yourself up further by carrying the negative lessons they taught you into your adult relationships. And then you write a bunch of songs about it all.

Well, you do if you’re Nathalie King, the Toronto -based songstress who’s entered the homestretch of her own healing process on her liberating new single, “You.” With a stark, unvarnished beauty, the song captures perfectly the cascade of sometimes conflicting emotions that accompanies childhood trauma and its ensuing adult self-sabotage. Yet the recorded result isn’t cathartic just for King herself, but also for anyone who’s in need of a little auditory TLC.
