Song Review/ R&B : Drea Dominique’s ‘Roll’

Drea Dominique is a R&B/ neo soul artist who creates dreamy spheres of music. Her music has a contemporary fluidity to it, where moments of contemplation meet emotional planes and sensual moments. For this article, we explore her single, ‘Roll’ from her album ‘Romantic Tragedies’. The collection is made to explore the world of love, heartbreak, vulnerability and healing. Crafted to bring the listener to a sphere of soulfulness and feeling.

‘Roll’ is made as an exploration of emotional surrender. Her dreamy vocals blend into pastel swirls of melodic synths. The trap beats create a dynamic anchor for the otherwise featherlight flow of the track. She explores themes of going with the flow, of giving in to the experience of love instead of resisting it. The beauty of the soundscape is meant to showcase the beauty of going through the experience. Giving yourself to it instead of resisting the emotion. If you enjoy the complex thematic explorations of artists like SZA and HER, you’ll love the work of this artist.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
