Dreaming Soda’s new single “Kissing Stacey” feels like opening a can of pure pop joy. The Sydney–Melbourne duo brings a sound that is colorful, playful and beautifully engaging with melodies that wrap around you and refuse to let go. There’s a lightness to the track that makes it easy to connect with, but at the same time, the production and detail show how much thought has gone into every moment.
The instrumentation bursts with character with bright guitar lines, fun electronic layers and a rhythm that keeps things moving forward with an infectious groove. The chorus is one of those moments that sticks in your head long after the song ends, a singalong hook that feels fresh and nostalgic. The vocals have a sweetness and charm that match the song’s atmosphere perfectly and making the whole thing shine with warmth.
What makes this single special to me is the duo’s passion. You can hear how much they care about creating music that’s not only catchy but also meaningful in a playful way. The sound is fun, the energy is refreshing and the lyrics are easy to listen to. I’ve just discovered Dreaming Soda and I already love their style. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for what they release next.
