Christine Renner, "Dreamer"

Soaring synths and waggish riffs demonstrate Christine Renner's impressive capacity for creating an immersive experience on new single "Dreamer," out Friday. With intense feelings of yearning for a past partner, the pop/rock act paints the picture of a cowgirl finding an oasis after many lonely days. "Baby, I need you more than water," carries more meaning with this wistful outlook. Americana-touched production by Chris "Frenchie" Smith adds to the dreamy no-man's-land. In a very hot Texas summer, Renner still holds out for an already dried-up love.
