Lila Drew Releases Debut Single 'faded/2am' Featuring Goldlink Today

"A major statement." - Zane Lowe/Beats 1/Apple Music

“After today there’s no way you’ll forget her name.” - High Snobiety

"Lila Drew's honeyed vocal and Goldlink's masterfully paced verse sit perfectly together while remaining in stark contrast.” - Earmilk

Described as an "essential artist" by Zane Lowe who debuted the track on his Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music as a World First today, ‘faded/2am’ feat. Goldlink is Lila Drew’s musical introduction to the world and her first official single, out on all platforms worldwide today. Co-produced with Michael “Mighty Mike” McGarity (Lana Del Rey, FKA twigs, Miguel among others) and mixed by Grammy Award-winning Derek “Mixed by Ali” (SZA, Kendrick Lamar), ‘faded/2am’ is a stunning, minimalistic R&B jam, featuring the critically acclaimed American rapper Goldlink. "Lila is one of the most refreshing new voices in music, and I jumped at the opportunity to work together on her new single.” Explained the Grammy-nominated artist. ‘I’m beyond excited for the world to hear it."

What started as a voice memo on her iPhone when en route to the recording studio one evening has quickly become one of the most intimate and soulful songs to emerge in 2018. On the collaboration, 18-year-old London-born Lila reveals. “Goldlink has always been one of my favorite rappers. I love the intersection of jazz, hip-hop and dance in his music and was blown away when he heard my music and agreed to collaborate. He really understood what the song needed and brought it to life.
