DRAMA: from House Music in Chicago to Platonic Romance

Their breakout collaboration “You’ve Done Enough” with Gorgon City has surpassed 100 million global streams and earned BRIT Silver certification.With Platonic Romance, DRAMA deliver a cohesive and emotionally rich album that represents their most definitive artistic statement so far.
