Exclusive Listen: Stevie Nicks Returns With Romantic 'In Your Dreams'

This stream is no longer avaliable.

In Your Dreams, Stevie Nicks' first solo album in a decade, finds the Fleetwood Mac singer in fine form as she returns to familiar themes of mysticism and romance. Nicks finds storytelling inspiration everywhere, from the Twilight series on the gothic ballad "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)" and Edgar Allan Poe on the epic "Annabel Lee," to her own past on the revived Rumours outtake "Secret Love." Her voice is a bit weathered with age, but she still sounds remarkably distinct and vital, particularly on the rocking title track and the wistful finale "Italian Summer." In Your Dreams won't be in shops until May 3rd, but you can stream the album in full now. If you pre-order the disc from Barnes & Noble, you'll get an exclusive bonus track called "My Heart."

“He Will Break Your Heart”

Jerry Butler | 1960

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
