Multi-hyphenated DJ, producer, and activist Chmba returns with her latest single, “Dream,” a genre-blending, uplifting track that marks her first solo release after a reflective creative pause. Fusing ancestral percussion, orchestral strings, and affirmational vocals, “Dream” serves as a sonic offering rooted in trust, joy, and the journey toward self-rediscovery.
Produced by longtime collaborator Robin Walsh, the 3-minute track is a sparse, slow-burning meditation on how sadness can quietly infiltrate our daily lives. Carried by Charlie’s intimate vocals and unfiltered songwriting, Living Without Hope doesn’t dress up the truth — it sits in it.
Written over the past four years while completing her Bachelor of Pop Music (Songwriting) at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, Blue + Green represents a major artistic step forward for the South African-born musician. Where her debut EP Beautiful Confusion (2020) introduced her voice, Blue + Green expands on it — layered with live band arrangements, 90s indie textures, and a poetic vulnerability that runs deep.
