"Dreaming" arrives as a single, released on 1 May 2026, and it is a one-track doorway into a larger body of work. It is worth sitting with on its own terms, and also as an early look at the songs that would gather on Slánú, the album Ajeet released in October 2026. This guide treats the single as a complete listening experience: one song, one room, one sustained mood.
Ajeet's recordings run from Sacred Waters (2013) to Slánú (2026), and the distance between them is considerable. Her first two albums were built around mantra: Sacred Waters holds music for Kundalini Yoga meditations, and At The Temple Door (2014) weaves songs and mantras with harmonies from Snatam Kaur. Darshan (2015) was recorded in Bali, and Haseya (2016) took its title from the Diné for "she rises." The LUNAR EP (2020) followed the phases of the moon, and in 2020 she moved back to Ireland, where she works from her home studio.
"Dreaming" belongs to this Irish chapter. Its title also echoes her Dreaming Retreat, the five-day gathering at Dromgarriff in County Cork, where she shares songs, stories and music. The word clearly matters to her, and it suits a songwriter whose work so often carries dream images, folklore and myth.
Ajeet's music moves from traditional Irish folk toward mystical, meditative soundscapes, and that movement is the right frame for this single. Expect an unhurried pace and a mood closer to a lullaby than to a performance. On her live album Voices Like Rain her band's sound is layered harmonies, acoustic and electric guitars, hand percussion and Celtic harp; on this single, the voices are what to listen for.
What distinguishes "Dreaming" is the company it keeps. Aisling Urwin, the harpist and vocalist who is Ajeet's longtime bandmate, and Rachel Sermanni join her on the track. That means voices are the center of gravity. Listen for how the vocals blend and trade space. The lyric, set beside a river, carries the dream images that run through her songwriting, and the pleasure is in discovering the details yourself.
Since this is a single, there is one signature track, and it is the whole release.
"Dreaming" lands because of its restraint and its company. A song about dreaming asks the listener to slow down, and the presence of Urwin and Sermanni turns what could be a solo meditation into a shared one. Urwin has been central to Ajeet's world, including their project Woven Kin, so the collaboration feels like an extension of an existing partnership rather than a guest appearance. Listen for the moment the voices gather: that is where the song does its work.
Ajeet's roots are plural. Her early records sit inside the mantra and Kundalini Yoga world, and her collaborators have included Snatam Kaur, Trevor Hall and Rising Appalachia. Her Irish folk heritage runs alongside that, with its tradition of story passed down through generations. "Dreaming" sits where these streams meet: devotional in spirit, folk in its bones, meditative in its pacing.
It is not kirtan in the call-and-response sense, and it is not ambient music in the strict sense. It belongs to the broader world and devotional space, where a song can function as quiet practice. That makes it a natural companion to the retreats and yoga and meditation sessions she leads.
This single is for the listener in a threshold moment: the end of a long day, a season of rest after effort, a period of grief or tenderness when louder music feels like too much. It will resonate with people who came to Ajeet through mantra and want to hear where her songwriting has traveled, and with those who love Celtic harp and layered harmonies without needing a spiritual vocabulary to enjoy them.
If you have attended one of her retreats, or hope to, the song may feel like an invitation back into that atmosphere.
Choose the evening. Dim the lights and use headphones, so that the layering of voices and the harp can separate and settle in your ear. Listen once without doing anything else, then a second time as an accompaniment to something quiet: stretching, journaling, or simply lying down.
Because it is a single, repetition costs nothing. Play it twice in a row and notice what changes between the first and second pass. Dream-songs tend to reveal themselves on return.
If the single draws you in, the natural next step is Slánú, where "Dreaming" sits among songs such as "Healing Song," "Soften" and "From The Water."
