DRAMA

Chicago duo DRAMA’s third full-length, Platonic Romance, is a full immersion into their electroR&B approach. Their follow-up to 2020’s Dance Without Me covers the wide span of human emotion—heartbreak, the realization of new and existing love, a sense of acceptance that comes with personal maturity—accompanied by Via Rosa’s rich, deeply felt vocals and Na’el Shehade’s detailed and sumptuous production. Reaching far beyond points of reflection, Platonic Romance ultimately showcases DRAMA’s full maturity as artists and people, brimming with confidence and emotive flair, while still remaining catchy as hell—making for what is unquestionably their best album to date.
