DRAMA, a Chicago-based duo of producer Na'el Shehade and vocalist Via Rosa, fuses R&B and dance music across time. Their long - awaited debut album, 'Dance Without Me', offers a vibrant and soulful take on romantic stories. Rosa's vocals draw inspiration from jazz's improvisation and Boss nova's playfulness, perfectly complementing Shehade's Chicago house - inspired productions. The album's tracks have their own charm: '7:04 AM' features all - encompassing piano chords and punchy percussion; 'Years' has fierce breakbeats reminiscent of arena - filling trip - hop like Massive Attack or UNKLE; 'Forever and a Day' is a house - influenced gem with rumbling bass, glimmering piano stabs, and an earworm vocal line; 'Nine One One' combines cosmic synth, sampled celebrations, and sweeping strings; and the title track 'Dance Without Me' closes the album vibrantly with heavenly instrumentation and amazing vocal vamps. The album comes in a black vinyl pressing with a sleeve having spot - gloss accents and a printed inner sleeve with full album lyrics. It also includes a digital download. It's released by Ghostly International in 2020. Highly recommended.
To enjoy this album, simply insert the black vinyl into your record player or download the digital version to your music device. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you want to clean the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush. For the digital version, make sure your device has enough storage space. You can play it on various music apps. Don't forget to check out the printed inner sleeve with the full album lyrics while you're listening to enhance your experience.
