Before We Fall Asleep

Anchored by impeccable songwriting across sound beds replete with traditional, neo-classical, and alté inflections, Before We Fall Asleep is an absorbing excursion into Johnny Drille’s richly textured cosmos. Traversing multiple sonic worlds, the Afro-R&B “ludo” gels with the Afropop of “ova,” while the pensive acoustics of “BEFORE I LET GO” precede the collision of hip-hop undertones on “lost in the rhythm” and the ambient pop of “CLOCKS.”
