Background and composition
[edit]Dreamers was written and composed by Charles Leclerc and Sofiane Pamart, with Remy Lebbos as the mastering engineer.[1][2] Pamart described the EP as a collaborative project which "brings together the high-octane world of racing and the emotive realm of music, embodied in four distinct and captivating co-composed piano pieces."[3] The EP is further described as a composition of "melancholy, soft and emotional sounds".[4]
During his off-season at Formula One, Leclerc spent part of his time in the studio with Pamart to put together the EP.[5] The day before the EP release, Leclerc said, "I went into a studio for two days with Sofiane and we worked on four songs that will be released tonight at midnight. I’m so proud of the result."[4]
The EP was released on digital streaming sites on 16 February 2024,[2] and in CD and vinyl format on 24 May 2024.[6]
"Dreamers is born from shared vision of blending the intensity of motor racing with the expressiveness of piano music, creating a narrative that speaks to the dreams and aspirations of both artists. This musical project is an immersive experience that unites the visceral energy of Formula 1 with the profound depth of piano music. A celebration of ambition and passion, reminding dreamers everywhere that with focus, heart, and no limits, the dream always continues."[7]
