Drake White has returned with new music in the form of 5-track EP Pieces, which was released via Big Machine Records on Friday.
The EP was produced by busbee with White co-writing two of the set’s 5 tracks. It’s the first new music we’ve heard from White since the release of his debut album Spark in 2016.
“I love writing that’s very simple, but it’s like, ‘Oh, I know exactly what you’re talking about,’ explained White. “I’m infatuated with words and trying to arrange them in a way that would make my heroes proud.”
