Bio:

Dawuna is a New York based singer-songwriter, producer & composer whose output blends an intimate and timeless mode of R&B with a woozy yet intricate and singular production style. His music is primarily informed by the American canon of Black Music (Marving Gaye, Nina Simone, Prince, D'Angelo, etc), but also draws influences from the wider span of diasporic African art.

Glass Lit Dream (2021/Album)

oh s***, Glass Lit Dream was a really interesting record. i'll check this out.

you grabbed the single artwork tho, here's the album art

Oh you right

Prince influence is very strong on this one.

this was already released last year or am i missing something?

Yeah it dropped last year but unmastered. He just got it mastered and drop it on streaming

cool, thanks, nice lil project

Poppin really reminds me of one of those Camille era prince tracks

damned if you do, damned if you don't

survivor muzik

the drums from That Hump on the title track was just listening to New Amerykah a couple weeks ago

dude is dope as hell, real contemplative soul music with his own experimental feel to it. i'm gonna play this some more and revisit Glass Lit Dream

Had this one on repeat last night

I think i like this more than glass lit

Eddie song is funky asf

you got me feelin' burnt out.

we're just tryna go higher, higher higher higher

listened to Glass Lit Dream, Southside Bottoms, and Naya all in a row tonight.

man, Glass Lit Dream is something else. "The Ape Prince" is his best track IMO. then you got tracks like "The General" and "Bad Karma." it's so immersive, one of those atmospheres you just get lost in. and the lyrics are sharp and thought-provoking.

Naya is a really nice project too, and the funk elements make it a punchier listen. this dude is just a super talented artist though, glad he's finding a way to get this work out properly. needs more attention for sure.

Gonna have to revisted glass lit dream

Yeah glass lit dream clicked for me this s*** amazing. Wasn't the biggest fan of it aside from a few songs but yeah it click. Perfect night time listen. He really channels prince very well on some of these tracks in a unique way

Surprisingly ended up being one of my most listened to projects this year despite coming out last month. Real music
