LIST PICK

JAMES DROLL LAST SEASON

For lovers of Tom Misch, Jordan Max, Basecamp and Jaymes Young, here’s your new favourite - James Droll. His latest single ‘Last Season’ is a dream of contemporary R&B and soul. The track spans just over two minutes, like a fleeting glimpse of the happiness that Droll mourns over with his sumptuous croon. The Nashville newcomer pours his narrative with soulful reminiscence, while the immortal combination of beats and piano is given fresh life with a chopped production. It’s so easy to drift along with this smooth track, although be sure to pay attention to James Droll’s original lyrics, such as the bittersweet lyrics, “I’m just a coat in your closet / Put back for the season.” - Hannah Thacker
