We’re a little late to this one but, nonetheless; it still deserves to be talked about. drama trial is a new artist that we actually came across from Tik Tok. He was doing a break down of his newest track “Repercussion”, from his EP “(Re)”. As I said earlier, it has been a while and since then drama has been working hard and has released two mini EPS since then. You already know drama trial is for the people and ready to devote his time to the music. This review, however; will be about “(Re)” and the immense amount of creativity that went into it. drama has claimed to just have a spark of creativity and basically making the whole EP within a couple weeks. That being said , this EP does not sound like a couple weeks of work. “(Re)” is littered with powerful, well spread instrumentals and thought out, well written lyrical content. Starting out with “Restart” we are given a dream like sound with fluttery high end percussion and wavy synths. The layers so perfectly intertwined right before it drops to an unorthodox vocal mix that you’ll be hearing for the entire record. Restart drops to almost a DnB club sound and the bass keeps a consistency that would keep your grandparents dancing. Moving on we get a lot of the same inside of “Relapse” with the metronome counting the listener in and euphoric and dreamy instrumentation. Rather than a full on dance track, drama seems to slow it down a bit introducing some piano chops and really dialing into the emotion until we get a HARD kick and bass drum starting another amazing and satisfying progression inside the song. This whole album is filled with vague feelings of hopefulness and smiles but, nothing on it can prepare you for the behemoth that is “Repercussions”. The track that brought us here with its stellar sound selection and design. From the machinery type sounds ringing out at the beginning to the infectious vocal melody. This whole track tickles your brain in all the right spots to the point where you’ll replay it once it’s over. The euphoric emotion that has been perfectly built up comes crashing down at the end of the track as drama screams that he’s tired of wasting his time on people who don’t deserve it. This is by far one of our favorite tapes released in 2022 and we cannot recommend it enough.
a place for the underground.
