“Bradley Dorsey – The Surprising Debut of Engelbert Humperdinck’s Son”
For years, Bradley Dorsey has worked behind the scenes, quietly supporting his legendary father, Engelbert Humperdinck. But now, he steps into the spotlight with his heartfelt debut album, “I’ve Got Dreams.”
This marks a bold but emotional move for Bradley – a man known until now as the creative force behind many of Engelbert’s music videos and live recordings. With this album, he takes his own voice seriously and shares stories close to his heart.
A Family-Built Album
Bradley didn’t walk this journey alone. “I’ve Got Dreams” is a family affair:
-
Engelbert Humperdinck joins him on a duet of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
-
His sister Louise Dorsey sings backing vocals
-
His niece Olivia co-wrote and co-produced some tracks.
Bradley says the album is about connection – generational, emotional, and musical.
“It’s a love letter to my family and to the fans who have always believed in music with soul,” he said.
Music That Comes from the Heart
Unlike most modern releases, “I’ve Got Dreams” isn’t trying to be trendy. Its strength lies in authenticity – soft pop influences, classic vocal arrangements, and honest lyrics.
Highlights from the album include:
-
“If I Could Only Tell Her” – a touching tribute to his late mother.
-
“Running Out of Days” – a song about time slipping away and unresolved feelings.
-
“I’ve Got Dreams” – the hopeful title track that speaks of resilience and dreams deferred.

The release took many by surprise – but the emotional response has been overwhelming. Fans of Engelbert around the world have praised Bradley for honoring the legacy while bringing in a fresh, personal sound.
“You can hear Engelbert’s spirit in there – but also a new, heartfelt voice,” one fan commented.
Bradley may not be chasing fame, but his debut has proven that heartfelt music still resonates. And for many longtime fans, “I’ve Got Dreams” feels like the next chapter in the Humperdinck legacy.
