Washington, DC-raised artist Q’Raun is fresh to our pages today with his emotional but self-assured new track “Drained Roses.” He takes on a slow-burning instrumental that creates an almost old-school atmosphere that sets the stage for Q’Rauns words and vocals to be in full view for the listener. He began his career as a wordsmith writing poetry in his youth and has seamlessly transitioned to making music and since 2017 he has been perfecting his craft, mixing elements of r&b, hip-hop, and soul resulting in a product that is totally unique to him and his experiences. I really enjoyed this song and look forward to hearing more from Q’Raun in the coming weeks.
