Review by Shawnte Triplett

Album Review: Wildest Dreams by Malinda Kathleen Reese Alright, let’s talk about Wildest Dreams, the 2015 album from Malinda Kathleen Reese. If you’re into folk music that feels like a warm hug on a cold day, this one might just be your jam. It’s not flashy or overproduced—just simple, heartfelt tunes with enough depth to keep things interesting. First off, Malinda plays almost everything herself: guitar, piano, flute (yep, flute!), and of course, her lead vocals. That DIY vibe gives the whole thing an authentic feel, like she’s sitting right there in your living room strumming away. The production team—producer Alex Buffington and sound guru Jeremy Kazenstein—did a solid job keeping it clean without losing the raw charm. And hey, props to Kathryn Hodge for filming stuff because… who doesn’t love some behind-the-scenes content? Now, onto the tracks. There’s a reason the album shares its name with the song “Wildest Dreams.” This track sticks out big time. It’s a ballad through and through, but it’s got this haunting quality that sneaks up on you. Malinda’s voice is soft yet powerful, kinda like when someone whispers something important in your ear. You can’t help but lean in closer. The lyrics are poetic too—no cheesy clichés here. They paint these vivid pictures of longing and hope, and honestly? I found myself humming it days later. Another standout is “The Road Less Traveled” (okay, maybe that’s not the real title, but work with me). It’s more upbeat compared to the dreamy vibes of the title track, with a catchy guitar riff that makes you wanna tap your foot. What gets me is how Malinda layers her instruments—it’s subtle, but once you notice it, you’re hooked. Like, wait, was that a flute solo?! Yup, and it works. One thing I dig about this album is how personal it feels. You know those albums where every song sounds like it could’ve been written by anyone? Not here. These songs have fingerprints all over ‘em—Malinda’s fingerprints. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and it pays off. So yeah, if you’re looking for something chill but meaningful, give Wildest Dreams a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start daydreaming halfway through. Oh, and fun fact: Malinda self-released this under her own label. Pretty badass, right? Makes you wonder what other hidden gems are floating around out there. Who needs fancy record deals anyway?

dang those handsome as heck losers who remember you at sunset but forget about you before dawn.

it's a beautiful performance.

now if someone will write a song about those of us who remember you at sunset and stay by your side as the sun rises one more time, ready to make one more memory that has no sorrow attached to it.

I like this cover way more than the original Taylor Swift version. You put lots more emotion and heart into this cover. I listen to it a lot, and it works for every mood I have. When I’m happy, it makes me smile and be calm, and when I’m sad, I cry bitterly when I hear this. You know just how to capture the right mood. I think you are a musical magician.

I'm old. My first thought was The Moody Blues. But that song is a decade older than MKR.
