Los Angeles-based duo Dani W + Drew have always brought a soulful warmth to their music, blending smooth melodies with a timeless, heartfelt sound. Dani, of Afro-Asian heritage and raised in LA and Drew, a Texas native with Mexican and Native American roots, craft songs that connect deeply with listeners across the USA and beyond.
Their work has already been heard on ABC and Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network and beyond their musical releases, they’re dedicated to uplifting local communities through performances that inspire and empower. Their journey as a duo began in 2020 with the release of their debut single, “Tell Me How You Really Feel,” which premiered in Ava DuVernay’s TV series Cherish The Day.
Followed up by two singles in the build up to their debut EP, The Ranch Sessions, in 2022, the duo took a hiatus from sharing their music while working on new material in the background. Now they’ve make an emphatic return with their brand new sophomore EP, The Finer Things and bring us the perfect taste of this exciting new chapter with the title track, “The Finer Things,” which perfectly captures the perfect snapshot of their updated sound; sultry, groovy and entirely compelling.
Framing themes of patience, trust and embracing life’s unfolding journey, the track explores the belief that everything falls into place in its own divine timing. Wrapped up in a vintage soul soundscape full of intricately grooving bass lines and shimmering instrumentation, Dani’s alluring voice glides above the mesmeric arrangement to cast a stunning sound that’s infectious and mesmeric in equal measure.
After being counted in, the track takes shape with the soft pulse of bass, airy guitar tones and tapped cymbals before the lead vocals spin subtly lively melodic leads above. Flowing with intoxicating rhythm and blissful melodic writing, “The Finer Things” delivers an upbeat sound that’s memorable and charming from start to finish.
Jumping with the punch of drums and slick, funk-inflected guitar tones, it’s a dazzling jam that puts the duo’s stellar songwriting and performance panache on full display. Marking their return in spectacular fashion, with “The Finer Things” and their new EP, Dani W + Drew signal an exciting year ahead and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store next.
Commenting on the single, they share, “Creating The Finer Things has been an incredibly rewarding experience. We’ve poured our hearts into this track and are excited to share this new chapter with our fans. We hope The Finer Things resonates with listeners and brings something special to their lives.”
