In the parched abyss of modern soul, Drue & The Millions emerge like a raincloud heavy with promise, dripping melodies onto thirsty hearts. Their latest single “The Drought” captures loneliness with such honesty it’s almost scandalous—like peeking through a crack in someone’s armor only to find galaxies swirling inside.
Einav Cohen sings not just with her voice but her marrow. There’s something primally cathartic as she belts out lyrics that tug at the frayed cables of our own desolation. You can hear echoes of Ella and whispers of Badu, yet Einav is startlingly original – a phoenix crooning from its ashes rather than merely rising.
Turning to the music itself – imagine jazz had a love affair with R&B on pop’s sumptuous sheets; that’s where you’ll find Drue & The Millions’ sound nestled. Each note Guy Herling coaxes from his keys seems dipped in sepia-toned memories while other musicians stitch these into rich tapestry beneath Cohen’s vocals — creating an aura both retro and urgently now.
As for “The Drought,” it feels less like a song and more an exorcism—of sorrow, isolation, all set against the haunting balm of their melodious craft. The track isn’t just heard; it resonates within your ribcage as if hitting some universal frequency that mends cracked souls.
Thus breaches forth “About Time,” looming on life’s horizon—a debut album promising further journeys across emotional landscapes carved over eight long years under spotlight soliloquies.
Simple truth? “The Drought” isn’t mere music—it’s moisture in melody form for anyone feeling too brittle in their human beingness.
