Enjoying Hazy Summer with Drugdealer’s “Honey” ft. Weyes Blood
Third time’s a charm, right? We wouldn’t complain a bit if Drugdealer has collaborated with Weyes Blood three times already because they are like a match made in indie heaven. Deemed themselves as a collective rather than a band, the Los Angeles-based unit led by Michael Collins has released “Honey” from their upcoming album “Raw Honey”. As expected from this combo, their honey-like vocals blend throughout the song and touch certain sentimental feelings inside of the listeners’ hearts. It resonates a lot more as the song talks about self-worth, anxiety, and creativity in an ultra commercialized world. The atmosphere took us back when we first discovered “Solitaire” by Carpenters among our parents’ music collection and blasted it out loud on the car during a summer holiday. “Honey” accentuates both Collins and Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood)’s strength as a duo.
