Lila Drew - 'Crystal Ball'

Lila Drew releases her delicately beautiful track ‘Crystal Ball’.

Combining wonderful folk with warm pop harmonies - this track oozes a combination of Haim meets Phoebe Bridgers with a dash of Laura Marling thrown in for good measure. It gracefully unfolds with layers of strings that creep into the track as it grows. Taking it to that extra level of extreme beauty.

Lila Drew has found comfort in writing poems and making music for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she immersed herself in her family’s diverse record collection, studying the craft of legends like Joni Mitchell, Lauryn Hill, Van Morrison, and everything in-between. She took piano lessons, taught herself how to play guitar, and recorded herself using GarageBand.
