The boundary-pushing duo Black Violin has just dropped a dramatic new single and accompanying video titled ‘Drama’. Captivating the essence of genre fusion, this new release from the GRAMMY-nominated pair, produced by Phil Beaudreau, serves as an appetizer to their much-anticipated album ‘Full Circle’ expected in March 2025.
‘Drama’ intricately weaves the elegance of classical music with the vibrant energy of hip-hop, showcasing the unique blend that Black Violin, comprised of Kev Marcus and Wil Baptiste, is renowned for. According to Marcus, the song challenges conventional music norms, urging listeners to explore beyond their comfort zones into new auditory territories.
Black Violin’s journey began in a high school orchestra class and has since evolved into a significant musical movement. Post-school, their innovative series of hip-hop covers on violin captured the attention in clubs, paving the way to notable collaborations with artists like Alicia Keys and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Their dedication to the craft parallels a commitment to community outreach through their foundation, promoting musical education and creativity among youth.
The release of ‘Drama’ sets the stage for their upcoming tour which promises to bring their dynamic performances to life across numerous cities. From the mesmerizing acoustics of the Atlanta Symphony Hall to the historic Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, each concert is set to offer an enchanting musical journey across the states.
