Drugdealer- "Real Thing" (feat. Weyes Blood)

Michael Collins and Natalie Mering, old mates from Oakland’s music scene, stumbled into “Real Thing” after a chance Parisian encounter, hammering out a demo in a studio steeped in ’70s prog rock lore. Mering’s sharp lyrics and harmonies, paired with Collins’s rich strings, deliver a warm, honest ode to love that feels like it’s been simmering for years, polished off by a crack production crew.
