DRAMA

Drama (typically capitalized as DRAMA) is a dance groove ridden electronic band whose melodies and stylistic choices are grounded in the R&B traditions, though gravitating towards a rejuvenated Disco sound in recent recordings. Vocalist Via Rosa sings in a measured and misty voice that projects a sense of melancholy, while producer Shehade adds a presentational layer around their often mid-tempo and laid back dance tracks. Their arrangements are typically pared down with enough breathing space, but they can also be quite lush and use syncopation in the beats. Their overall sound often resonates somewhere between The XX and Sade, with plenty of emotional depth in their songs.
