Lena Younes Unveils Debut Album “Ways of the Dreamer” with Heartfelt Single “Presence”
Lena Younes, an exceptionally talented singer-songwriter, yoga facilitator, and breathwork practitioner, is set to make her mark with her debut album Ways of the Dreamer. Slated for release in May 2025, this album is a testament to Younes’ artistic brilliance, exploring profound themes of healing, motherhood, and ancestral ties.
Leading the album is the evocative single “Presence,” a tribute to Younes’ late mother. The track, infused with deep emotion and lyrical grace, reflects her journey of honoring the bonds between generations, transcending the confines of time and loss. “Presence emerged after my mother’s funeral, capturing the ways we remain connected to those who are no longer with us,” Younes explained. Her daughter, carrying the spirit of her grandmother, exemplifies this connection.
The album Ways of the Dreamer is the culmination of a significant six-year creative process, one that channels Younes’ personal experiences of loss, transformation, and the awe of motherhood into a mesmerizing collection of music. Her songwriting was revitalized after an intense session of conscious connected breathwork, sparking a wave of creativity that translated personal struggles into compelling music.
The album was crafted remotely, showcasing Younes’ versatility and adaptability. While producer Sebastian Brice worked from his studio in Frome, UK, Younes recorded her vocals in the intimate setting of her father’s wardrobe in Tavira, Portugal. This unconventional approach to recording encapsulates her innovative spirit and dedication to authentic expression.
