…while both Johns and Empire Of The Sun teased the project on social media with the hashtag #noonedefeatsus.
A mysterious Dreams website was also discovered, along with a snippet of a song recorded by Johns and Steele which features Steele singing the line, “No one defeats us, ’cause we are the spirit.”
There’s a four-to-the-floor beat, some funky guitars and what appears to be an auto-tuned Johns singing the words “come together” as well. Listen to the snippet in full, below.
Johns previously teased the Dreams project in 2016, saying that music was coming “soon”. In 2013, Steele revealed that the pair were working on an album which was partly “inspired by African music”.
Johns has been quite the collaborator of late, teaming up with the likes of What So Not and his Vivid LIVE band Boom Tish on new music in 2017.
Stay tuned for more news on Dreams as it comes to hand.
