METAL Magazine

“In her new album, Wildest Dreams, Lustre undoubtably transports us into another cosmos with her majestic combination of personal imagination and otherworldly RnB blows. She was inspired by her most memorable vivid dreams. Her team then tried to translate these dreams into an immersive thirty-three-minute visual experience. She mentions her music is like giving advice to her listeners in a way. Lustre’s melodies, lyrics, imagery and monologues lead a road for open conversations about taboo themes. So, listen, read or watch how Nadine Lustre perceives the world we live on today.”
