“Dreams is a ten-track album influenced by Amapiano. But the music is signature Donald. The running motifs of the album’s production are the signifiers of amapiano with the use of percussion, the exploration of manipulating the long drum, the use of the pack and of course, love. On Dreams, Donald lyrically explores finding love, reminiscing about past loves and affirming himself and his success.”
