A genre-blending return to purpose
Multi-hyphenated DJ, producer, and activist Chmba makes a powerful solo comeback with her latest release, “Dream.” The track, a vibrant fusion of ancestral percussion, orchestral strings, and affirmational vocals, is an uplifting sonic offering that marks her first solo release after a period of intentional creative reflection.
A sonic meditation on joy, trust, and perseverance
Opening with the Yoruba chant “Ase Ase Ìyá Ìyá,” Dream channels spiritual alignment and empowerment. Chmba’s affirmational lyrics — “Sometimes things don’t go the way we want / but that don’t mean we are giving up” — speak directly to the human experience of resilience, making the track both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Reconnecting with her artistic core
Following a whirlwind year of DJing at global stages including Madonna’s Oscars Afterparty, the Smithsonian Museum’s Summer Solstice, Gates Foundation Goalkeepers, Daybreaker, the World Economic Forum, and Future Horizon, Chmba stepped away from music releases to rediscover and refine her sound. Dream is the result of that inner work — a bold statement of rebirth and creative authenticity.
Viral traction and a global stage
The single has already begun making waves online, garnering over 1.5 million combined views across visualizers on social media. Its momentum continues to grow with a highly anticipated live debut performance scheduled at Soho House Stockholm.
