I'm a Dream is the second studio album by Swedish singer and songwriter Seinabo Sey, released on 7 September 2018 by Universal Sweden.
The album was written by Sey and Isak Alverus, and produced by Magnus Lidehäll, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, and Oskar Linnros.
[2][8] Topical issues touched in the album include being biracial in Sweden, femininity or feminism, identity, body positivity, and grief.
[2][5] Sey drew inspiration for the album specifically from two things: her trip to West Africa and Beyoncé, who is her idol.
[10][6] The song deals with issues of self-appreciation; she said that she had trouble appreciating herself as a black woman in Sweden because people who look like her are usually under-represented in public life.
Joshi concluded the album "quietly tackles femininity and expectations" and is sweet, but also too short and feels incomplete.
Soundi said her sparkling voice resembles classical ideals of Nina Simone and that even though Sey pales in comparison to American heavyweight R&B artists, in Nordic context she is one of the best.
[7] The album was produced by Magnus Lidehäll, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, Oskar Linnros, and Carli Löf.
