Wish I Was - High Hopes



Australian producer tyDi’s chill music project Wish I Was returns with an evocative cover of Panic! At The Disco's 'High Hopes', putting a uniquely danceable and emotionally resonant spin on one of today's most exuberant hits. 'High Hopes' is the first single since Wish I Was' inspiring charity single for the Make A Wish Foundation 'Ready To Start'.

As tyDi/Wish I Was relates 'This is actually the very first cover that I've ever done in my career, I've always been a huge fan of Panic! At The Disco and 'High Hopes' just really speaks to me. Wish I Was has always been about hopes, ambition and wanting to do the things that we dream of musically. It's always a risky move covering a song because you have to be really careful not to just copy the original song. To put a spin on the song I worked with a female vocalist and made it a lot more downtempo (even though it's somewhat dance). There's something slightly melancholy about this take on 'High Hopes' that I hope my fans will enjoy.'

Hitting the electronic music scene only a few years ago with the melancholic underground hit 'Cutting Ties', tyDi's side project Wish I Was has since released 2 densely atmospheric, yet supremely danceable albums, garnering major support from tastemaker outlets like Sirius XM Chill and Mr. Suicide Sheep on the way.

Are you tired of feeling inadequate and alone in your struggles? Have a look at Sarah Kroger's 'Belovedness,' a powerful ballad that reminds us of our worth as children of God. Initially released on Kroger's sophomore album, 'Light,' during the peak of a global healthcare crisis, 'Belovedness' quickly found a following among those battling mental health challenges.
