Samantha Margret’s Dream Girl: A Hypnotic Alt-Pop Debut

Some albums introduce an artist. Others solidify them as a voice worth following. Samantha Margret’s debut Dream Girl is firmly in the latter category. Unsettling yet unforgettable, the record lingers long after the last note fades — an alt-pop experience that cements Margret as one to watch.

With her breakout single “RAGE” pulling in over 7 million streams and landing on editorial playlists like Villain Mode, Created By Women, and SALT, Margret already proved she could strike a raw emotional chord with listeners worldwide. But Dream Girl, out October 10th, expands that emotional range in bold, haunting ways.

Where “RAGE” was sharp and explosive, Dream Girl turns inward — a hypnotic confessional that blurs the line between reality and dreamlogic. The title track loops like a mantra, drawing listeners into the disorienting pressure of embodying an “ideal” that feels both seductive and suffocating. It’s a record that doesn’t shy away from vulnerability, diving deep into themes of self-doubt, desire, and the quiet violence of perfectionism.

Margret’s ability to transform raw emotion into something cinematic is what sets her apart. She doesn’t just tell a story; she traps you inside it. That’s why fans in Los Angeles will want to mark October 19th on their calendars, when Dream Girl comes alive on stage at her album release show.

If you’re into alt-pop that’s equal parts intoxicating and unflinching, Samantha Margret’s Dream Girl deserves your attention.

Dream Girl is out everywhere October 10th.
