In addition, "Walking on a Dream" is heating up at Specialty Radio and is currently #5* on the FMQB Singles Chart.
Exotic, lavish, larger-than-life, Empire Of The Sun brings together these two unlikely collaborators from Australian pop. Their friendship which Luke describes as "this fireball of electricity", eventually resulted in Walking On A Dream - a bold, visionary and brilliant album, which manages to sound exhilaratingly contemporary, audaciously forward-looking, yet also curiously archaic all at once. From Nick and Luke's collective unconscious arose a rare marriage of rock and electronica, immediacy and depth, futurism and tradition, hi-tech production and creative spontaneity, pop melody and the cinematic.
The video for "Walking On A Dream" has received over 3.8 million YouTube views. The fantastic video was filmed in Shanghai. Watch video
