Keep “CALM” and press on. Dro Kenji’s latest single is not only a recollection of moments on tour with Mike Dimes, but a stunning sonic representation of his talent outside of his usual realm.
Authentic and true to heart, Kenji’s unmatched consistency has taken his art to an entirely new level in recent months. “CALM” keeps this same energy — and reaches the peak of this allure —swooning over cascaded acoustic guitar melodies and vocalizing love-torn lines with pure bliss.
“Take a little walk in my shoes, I just took a little dive in her head / We just need a little time to waste soon, I can tell you feel alone in your bed,” he croons like he’s atop a mountain, echoing his performance through the stark visuals of its live rendition, expertly mixed with a slew of slice of life moments and on-the-road mementos. The track, much like all of his output, showcases Kenji’s vulnerability and hitmaking prowess without being overpowering. “CALM” is an ode for winding down, as Kenji seems to reflect on yet another whirlwind year through the new single’s recap-music video hybrid.
The Internet Money icon’s latest album, WISH YOU WERE HERE, is the latest project in a line of seven predecessors over the course of two years. When referencing that consistency is the key to his fans’ unbridled loyalty, it’s more than just dropping tracks for the sake of it: It’s how he bares his soul willingly, unwavering of outside perception.
We’re witnessing Dro Kenji evolve once again, reminding those stay “CALM,” everything is going to be fine amid adversity staring at you dead-on.
