Stacey Kent – I Know I Dream: The Orchestral Sessions

Stacey Kent – I Know I Dream: The Orchestral Sessions

A lush and cinematic chapter in Stacey Kent’s catalogue, I Know I Dream: The Orchestral Sessions pairs her signature intimate vocal style with expansive orchestral arrangements, creating a record that feels both deeply personal and widescreen in scope.

Built around the refined arrangements of Jim Tomlinson and Tommy Laurence, the album blends jazz, chanson, and Brazilian influences into a seamless, dreamlike whole. Kent’s warm, conversational delivery brings emotional clarity to songs written by icons such as Antonio Carlos Jobim and Serge Gainsbourg, while also interpreting contemporary collaborations and literary-inspired pieces like Bullet Train, co-written with author Kazuo Ishiguro.

The orchestral backdrop never overwhelms; instead, it gently frames Kent’s storytelling, allowing each track to unfold like a short film - elegant, reflective, and emotionally precise.
