Review

'Dream Your Life Away' is a warm embrace of a debut album from Vance Joy. This Australian singer-songwriter has woven together a collection of tunes that feel like old friends, even on first listen. The record's sunny roots-pop ballads are like little stories set to music, each one painting a picture of youth, love, and the bittersweet passage of time.

At the heart of the album is 'Riptide', a song that swept across the world like a gentle wave, carrying Joy's name to far-off shores. With its playful ukulele and catchy chorus, it's the kind of tune that sticks in your head and your heart. But don't be fooled - there's more to this album than just one hit. Songs like 'Mess Is Mine' and 'Georgia' show off Joy's gift for crafting melodies that feel both fresh and familiar.

The album closes with 'My Kind of Man', a tender ballad that lets Joy's voice shine. It's a fitting end to a record that feels like a long, lazy summer afternoon - the kind where you lose track of time and find yourself dreaming of all the possibilities life holds. Joy's music has a way of bridging gaps, speaking to folks of all ages with its simple truths and heartfelt delivery. It's no wonder 'Dream Your Life Away' found its way into so many hearts and homes, becoming a double-platinum success and selling millions of copies worldwide. - Willow
