Neon Dreams, Booshle G, And Byrne Capture Lighting In A Bottle With Their New Collaboration, Wander​

No collaboration has made more sense than seeing Canadian alt-pop duo Neon Dreams, South African rising star Booshle G, and New York-based artist BYRNE team up on their electric new single, Wander. The single was born unexpectedly in a New York studio session following a sold-out show that Neon Dreams and Booshle G performed together in London earlier this year.

The session came together thanks to BYRNE, a longtime friend of the band, who invited them to write in the city.

“We were just visiting the city,” recalls Neon Dreams frontman Frank Kadillac, “and one of my friends invited us to a session. I wasn’t even sure Booshle would be part of it, and he just smiled and said, ‘I can do whatever I want.’ That’s when I knew something special was about to happen.”

Booshle G, who calls Neon Dreamsbig brothers” in his music journey, says the connection was inevitable.

“We’ve toured South Africa and Europe together, shared stages, and spent time building this trust,” he says. “So, getting in the studio just felt natural—and out came this big ball of fun we called Wander.”

The song captures the magic of spontaneity, the thrill of adventure, and the kind of musical chemistry that can’t be forced, even if you try.

Sonically, Wander blends 70s funk, 80s disco pop, and irresistible modern energy.

“It’s lightning in a bottle,” says Frank. “For 2 minutes and 37 seconds, you’re going to feel unstoppable.” Or, in his words: “Exhilarating. Contagious. Sunshine.”

At its heart, Wander is a celebration of freedom, presence, and the joy of stepping outside your comfort zone.

“We wander back into love when we stop thinking and start feeling,” Frank explains. “This song is a reminder that happiness lives in the moment, and music can take you there.” Booshle adds, “It’s about always chasing the summer—physically, emotionally, spiritually. It’s an adventure, and this track represents a childlike expression of that joy.”

The collaboration marks a new milestone for both Neon Dreams and Booshle G, specifically. This comes off the back of the Canadian duo celebrating 10 Years, with the release of an acoustic album with the same title, while continuing to build momentum with their global fan base. Booshle G recently played his first international show to a sold-out crowd in London.

This next chapter for all three acts will be marked by a nationwide Sunshine Tour 2 across South Africa in October. After that, Neon Dreams jet off for their headline European tour, and Booshle G will join them as a special guest for those shows too. He promises,

“More music, more content, and more special live moments.”
