The Dream

The Grammy Museum is thrilled to welcome nine-time Grammy Award-winning multi-Diamond artist, songwriter, and producer THE-DREAM for an evening celebrating the release of his new full-length album, Love/Hate II, with a discussion about his creative process in the Museum's intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater.

THE-DREAM has spent the last two decades writing and producing the soundtrack of a generation. For nearly 20 years, the multihyphenate singer, songwriter, and producer has amassed a prolific repertoire that has helped architect modern R&B, pop, country, and hip-hop. His catalog includes generational and Diamond-certified hits such as Beyoncé’s "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," Rihanna’s "Umbrella," Mariah Carey’s "Touch My Body," Kanye West’s "All of the Lights," and Justin Bieber’s "Baby."

Never confined to a single genre, he has continued to shape the sound of contemporary music, recently contributing to records like The Clipse’s "All Things Considered," Rosalía’s "Sauvignon Blanc," and "Allegedly" with Summer Walker. His work has earned numerous accolades, including the GRAMMY® Award for Album of the Year for his contributions to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter.

Now, THE-DREAM returns to center stage 19 years later with Love/Hate II, the highly anticipated sequel to his 2007 debut. The project dives head-first into the entangled, complicated, and messy reality of love today. "I want to make a record about where love is now," he says. "Relationships became cheapened. People used to fight for their love." The first single, "Bring That Body," is a fun, breezy teaser that day one fans will immediately embrace.

After selling tens of millions of records and penning some of the most defining love songs of a generation, THE-DREAM remains a true believer and hopes that fans are too. "Until I die, every particle in me is optimistic about love."
