Review

Kevin Andrew Johansen is an Argentine singer and songwriter born in the United States. It is characterized by a particular sound that mixes the popular music of its country and that of Latin America in general, with alternative rock and American pop, fusing them in a style that bears its own stamp, difficult to define, it sounds like Kevin Johansen.

Last December 2, the new song by Kevin Johansen was released, a duet with the great David Byrne entitled "Last night I was dreaming with you", a version translated into English of his hit "Anoche soñé con tú", originally published in 2007 on his album “Logo”.

This is a cute optimistic song. The lyrics talk about daydreaming, and how easy and fun it is to get lost in it.

In the video clip we can see the singer doing an everyday task. But then we get to see what goes on in his head while he starts to daydream about this girl that he wants to be with.
