Bob Vylan release latest single ‘Dream Big’
It’s the first new music of 2023 from the London duo.
Bob Vylan are back with ‘Dream Big’ - an anthemic single that serves as a follow up to last year’s critically acclaimed album ‘Bob Vylan Presents: The Price Of Life’. The new track acts as an ode to the young people in Bobby Vylan’s life, including his daughter, his nieces and nephews, and even his childhood self.
Explaining the inspirations behind ‘Dream Big’, he says: “Growing up, dreaming of making some kind of positive change in the world or doing something you love wasn’t presented as a realistic option. Working class people are often too focused on getting by to have the luxury of “dreaming big”, fortunately, I was delusional. And we want to encourage that “delusional” belief in oneself to accomplish whatever they want to in this world.”
The new track comes ahead of November’s ‘Viva La Vylan’ UK and Ireland tour, hot on the heels of what’s been a packed festival season for the duo. Check out the tour dates below, and grab tickets here.
