Rising Houston R&B artist Marlei has officially dropped her latest single, “Fantasy”, a bold and seductive track that marks her coming out as a Black bisexual artist. Released on February 13, 2025, Fantasy blends pop, R&B, and trap influences, capturing the rush of instant attraction, inspired by a real-life encounter with a girl in a red dress.
Known for her playful and lighthearted energy in previous releases, Marlei takes a new approach with “Fantasy”, leaning into a sultry, confident, and straightforward sound. The song was inspired by her experiences as a wedding singer, where she often finds herself attracting attention from women in the audience.
Marlei’s experience as a wedding singer has played a key role in shaping the narrative of “Fantasy”. While performing at events, she often finds herself attracting attention from women in the audience, affirming her bisexuality.
Despite being in a heterosexual relationship, these moments stand out to her as both entertaining and ironic, and rather than simply brushing it off, Marlei decided to channel this experience into her music, using “Fantasy” to explore the excitement, curiosity, and confidence that come with those interactions.
Produced by Jehf Slaps and mixed and mastered by Robert Sewell, “Fantasy” has already gained traction, securing placements on 13 playlists and earning praise from early listeners, including Dance Music Paradise saying “Sexy and inspiring! Delicious to listen and feel the sexy energy delivered by the vocal“, and Trap Space adding that “the melody of your track is contagious“.
With “Fantasy”, Marlei delivers a track that is seductive, fun, and unapologetically her.
