Waking at Dawn

Roy Woods

A definitive document of the Toronto sound. Murky, high-register R&B that captures the specific isolation of a city at 4am through heavy reverb and trap-soul rhythms.

July 1, 2016 · OVO Sound

A sophisticated blend of nocturnal confidence and early-morning vulnerability.

The transition into the dancehall-inspired rhythm of Gwan Big Up Urself, breaking the murky tension with a Caribbean swing.
