Rezz and fknsyd Reunite on Haunting Reimagination of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”
Back with yet another memorable collaboration, Rezz and fknsyd have created an ethereal reimagination of Eurythmics’ all-time classic, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This).” “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” is a haunting rework, utilizing fknsyd’s otherworldly vocals while implementing Rezz’s near-perfect production.

Earlier this year, Rezz unveiled her third studio album, Spiral, to much praise from the electronic music world. The LP included her hit single with D...
