Song: Saw You In A Dream

Genres: #indiefolk

Influences: Elliot Smith, Bob Dylan, John Prine

Release date: April, 2024

Comment: Colin Woltmann, a talented singer-songwriter from Alabama, continues to enchant with his latest single, “Saw You In A Dream,” the second track from his upcoming EP, “A Case of the Times”.

Woltmann got inspiration from artists such as Nick Drake, as well as those listed as his influences already. His sound is both soft and raw, creating an experience that feels like stepping into his mind. His first single, previously featured here, had a calming melody and honest lyrics. The same can be said of “Saw You In A Dream,” although each song in its own unique way. Personally, I find the new track even more ethereal, perhaps because Colin wrote it after experiencing a couple of strange dreams that left him in a state of déjà vu.

“Saw You In A Dream” by Colin Woltmann feels like sipping hot chocolate in a cozy cabin in the middle of winter—a warm, comforting song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

"The In-Betweens” by Colin Woltmann

Artist: Colin Woltmann

Song: The In-Betweens

Genres: #indiefolk

Influences: Elliot Smith, Bob Dylan, John Prine

Location: Alabama, United States

Release date: December, 2023

Comment: Colin Woltmann, an emerging singer-songwriter from Alabama, draws inspiration from folk legends like Bob Dylan and John Prine for his latest single, ‘The In-Betweens.’ While often compared to Elliot Smith, the contemporary vibe of the song brings to mind the soothing style of British indie folk artist Passenger. With Colin’s comforting vocals and a pleasant acoustic guitar melody, the relaxation is total.

In the heartfelt lyrics of “The In-Betweens,” Colin Woltmann delves into the universal experience of internal conflicts. The sensation of not fully belonging, caught in the transitional space between the past and where we want to be. Woltmann‘s skill in portraying these emotions positions him as a resonant voice for those searching for connection in our sometimes isolating world. Because, in the end, there’s comfort in being reminded that we’re not navigating our struggles alone.

“The In-Betweens” is the first single of Colin’s forthcoming EP, “A Case of the Times”. I’m already looking forward to it.
