"Into The Dream"

Released July 11 2025

Step into a world of beauty, emotion, and haunting melodies with Rae Leigh's latest single, Into The Dream. This sweet country-pop ballad captures the essence of longing and wonder, weaving a heartfelt narrative that lingers long after the music fades.

When writing ‘Into The Dream’ the group were inspired by the moment when one is struggling to accept the loss of a relationship.

The song captures the story of a women who is struggling to process the loss of a relationship and re-living the memories in her dreams and finds comfort in that space.

PRODUCTION

Rae met Michael Flanders in a Songwriter Trysts podcast interview during which she learnt of his experience and talent he had worked with. Rae and Micheal previously worked on her Hit single ‘Love Me’ and this new single and coming EP project was recorded in Nashville in Micheals studios there.

I’m so excited to finally share my brand new single Into The Dream with the world—and even more thrilled to reveal the stunning music video that brings the emotion of the song to life. Directed by the incredibly talented (and award-winning!) Jay Seeney from Blacklist Productions in Brisbane, this video is a visual journey through the bittersweet space between love and loss. Huge shoutout to Jay for capturing this story so beautifully—what a legend.

I had the absolute honour of co-starring alongside the brilliant actor Deividy Reis, whose presence brought such depth and realness to the screen. And I’m bursting with gratitude to my gorgeous friends and fellow Brissie creatives Nate Eggins (from Conspiracy of One) and Clare Cowley for lending their musical magic to the video. Plus, the beautiful Tiana Storm—who not only acted in the video but also co-wrote the song with me! She’s a total powerhouse.

The story follows a woman (played by yours truly) wandering through the echoes of a relationship now gone. The apartment still holds the memories, and while the love may have vanished, the music hasn’t—it’s always there, keeping her company, helping her feel it all. It’s that messy middle place between heartbreak and healing, where you still dream of what was, even as you try to let it go. It’s sad, it’s sweet, and it’s a little bit magic.

Thank you to every single person who helped me bring this song and video to life. My heart is full. I hope this track finds the people who need it and reminds them they’re not alone in the in-between.

Rae Leigh BIO

Rae Leigh is a country Christian singer-songwriter from Australia whose music is a heartfelt blend of faith, storytelling, and soulful vulnerability. With a powerful voice and a mission to uplift, Rae’s songs explore real human experiences—offering messages of hope, healing, and the kind of grace that only comes through lived truth.

Since stepping onto the scene at the Tamworth Country Music Festival’s 50th anniversary in 2022, Rae has continued to rise as one of Australia's most sincere and relatable voices in country music. She’s headlined major festivals like Groundwater, appeared on NBC’s Young Rock performing Dwight Yoakam’s Honky Tonk Man, and released multiple charting singles including Push Em Up Jill (#1 on Australian Country Radio), Blue Shoes, and Love Me.

In 2024, Rae co-wrote and released Country Pride—the official theme song for the acclaimed documentary Bravery and Betrayal, which tells the stories of returned SAS soldiers from Afghanistan. The song draws from Rae’s own life as the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and tunnel rat, honouring the deep sacrifices of servicemen and their families with heartfelt reverence and pride.

Her most recent release, Into The Dream, is just the beginning of something much bigger. It's the first glimpse of a global, multimedia artistic project that has been years in the making—featuring original music, cinematic music videos, a documentary film, and a book. This creative movement is a call to community: to those who still believe in love, humanity, peace, and the healing power of art. With collaborators from around the world, Rae and her Dream Team are building a body of work designed to bring people together and spark global conversations around recovery, faith, connection, and purpose.

Beyond the stage and studio, Rae is deeply committed to arts leadership and advocacy. In 2024, she was appointed as a board observer with the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA), gaining invaluable mentorship and experience in governance, industry advocacy, and diplomacy in the arts. At the same time, she began building strong relationships with members of the Recording Academy in the U.S., where she’s found mentorship, encouragement, and inspiration from fellow artists and industry leaders dedicated to uniting creative communities.

In 2025, Rae attended the GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles, further cementing her international artistic presence. She returns to the U.S. in July and will travel to England in August to continue strengthening her global creative collaborations and community ties.

As the founder of the Songwriter Trysts podcast—with over 260 episodes featuring artists from around the world—Rae has created a space for songwriters to share their stories and connect with others on the same journey. Her advocacy extends to mental health, creative rights, and child protection, and her work with charities such as Raising Brighter Futures and The Ark continues to reflect her passion for service.

Whether she’s performing at major festivals, local community events, aged care homes, or intimate songwriter circles, Rae Leigh brings the same unshakable warmth and faith-filled purpose to everything she does.

With Into The Dream, Rae invites you to walk beside her into a movement of healing, creativity, and hope. Whether through music, media coverage, financial support, or shared belief in her mission—this is your invitation to be part of something meaningful from the ground up.
