Born Terius Nash, the Atlanta singer-songwriter known as the Dream had already written a handful of smash hits (Rihanna's "Umbrella" and J. Holiday's "Bed," among others) before he blew up with a single of his own, "Shawty is Da Sh*t (10)." On his debut album LOVEHATE, the Dream mixes a contemporary R&B sensibility with 1980s nostalgia. The throwback production on "Fast Car," "Purple Kisses," and "Luv Songs" is evocative of '80s icons such as Prince, Cameo, and Rick James at their best. LOVEHATE features guest appearances from Fabolous and Rihanna. |

Artist Overview
The pen behind some of the late-2000s catchiest R&B jams (including Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"), The-Dream parlayed that behind-the-scenes fame, easing into a soulful solo singing career by the decade's end. The ascent of The-Dream (born Terius Youngdell Nash) recalls a true Horatio Alger rags-to-riches story: a music fan as a child, he learned multiple instruments and honed his skill, and gained a reputation in the business selling song lyrics. The-Dream found a niche as the auto-tuner fad faded and the market boomed for old-fashioned urbane vocal craft a la Michael Jackson.
