Eighty Ninety chase illusions and heartache on ‘Hollywood Dream’

Indie-pop duo Eighty Ninety return with ‘Hollywood Dream,’ a lush and emotionally charged new single that explores the fine line between love and illusion.
Driven by pulsing guitars, cinematic production, and a bittersweet undercurrent, ‘Hollywood Dream’ captures the feeling of being caught in a romance that feels scripted for the big screen—complete with all the euphoria and inevitable unraveling. It’s a sleek blend of shimmer and vulnerability, a signature for the New York-based brothers Abner and Harper James.
“‘Hollywood Dream’ is about the thrill and longing that can consume a relationship until you start to wonder if that intensity is love or just addiction. It’s about the desire to mythologize your life, to see yourself inside a cinematic story that gives everything meaning — even the pain. But it’s also about how those stories can trap you. And how, even when you know that, part of you still wants to stay inside the dream.”
‘Hollywood Dream’ continues that trajectory, spotlighting the band’s cinematic storytelling and their ability to craft songs that resonate far beyond a single listen.
