When Lydia Cole decided to use Kickstarter to fund her new album, she didn't expect to reach her goal of $10,000 in just five days.
But that's what happened, and today she unveils the first taste of her new album - the single Dream - exclusively on nzherald.co.nz. Watch theclip in the video player above.
Cole, an Auckland-based singer-songwriter, released her last album Me & Moon in 2012.
Since then she's left her management of six years and was wary of asking fans to foot the bill for an upcoming album.
"I have always battled with the idea of crowdfunding. The main thing is I never wanted to put something out there without being sure that they were getting something back - money is so important to people and there are so many causes knocking at the door," she said.
