Fresh off the release of his latest album “Slower Life”, Dru had this to say about the experience:
"Wovensound is a visionary, and an inspiration to work with. His ability to jump from hip-hop to electronic to rock, and everything in between never fails to amaze me. When he reached out to me to write, we immediately jumped on a funky r&b vibe, taking turns writing hooks and melodies until we came up with 'Gather Round'. It's probably one of the most optimistic lyrics I've ever written! The cherry on top was having Ihasamic! onboard. Ihasamic! not only provided a most soulful and cheeky rap verse but also directed the highly spirited performance music video"
-Dru Chen
The single drops on all music streaming platforms on the 25th of August 2023.
