GEOWULF releases powerful single ‘Dreaming’
December 6, 2024 BY Bailey Vigliaturo
Today, Geowulf shares her newest track ‘Dreaming’ taken from the upcoming solo album “The Child”, due for release January 17th on Nettwerk.
‘Dreaming’ is one of the album’s more pensive and introspective moments. Mellow guitar strums underpin personal, poignant, and philosophical lyrics imagining a world in which women aren’t hamstrung by patriarchal impulses to choose between a career or having a child.
Star Kendrick (Geowulf) expands, “This song feels like one of the tracks that informed the feel of the whole album. I wrote this when pregnant, feeling like my identity was shifting but also unsure of how to manage a whole new life for myself. It’s about coming to terms with adulthood and the reality of your dreams and desires.
“Before I had the baby, I had sort of been on the fence about whether or not I wanted a child. On this song, I was working it out – like, is a child compatible with my career”
This is the latest in a run of deeply personal, honest, emotional and vulnerable tracks from Geowulf. Following previous releases. ‘Memory Serves Like Lightening’ ‘Nightmare’, ‘Dolly’ and ‘Something Good’.

On her first two albums as Geowulf, songwriter and musician Star Kendrick wrote witty, timeworn tales of love and heartbreak, dressing up modern millennial fables in the sounds of dreampop and indie-folk.
The world is different now, and so is Kendrick, who, since that album was released, parted ways with collaborator Toma Banjanin, she trained to become a social worker, and had a baby. With those tectonic changes comes The Child: Kendrick’s resplendent, emotionally resonant third album, a record that meets those higher stakes with unprecedented honesty.
