about

Dressed in Red is the first track of Drew's upcoming album "Dogs of this century". The album is a collaboration between Drew and Curtis F. Jones of SoniQ NdrgrNd. The project has been in the works for a few years now and originally began in New Paltz, NY and eventually moved to Corinth, NY at Curtis' Headquarters.
Dressed in Red tells a fictional story loosely based on real events, about a man who's girlfriend forced him to wear a red dress. The man eventually develops a taste for it and begins questioning his own sexuality and the psychology of gender fluidity. The song is meant to be tongue in cheek, utilizing a sense of black humor.

The rest of the album is scheduled to be released end of the Fall 2019

lyrics

Tears and hugs and kisses and goodbyes
makes me think of you sometimes
when you try to tell me those lies, I end up laughing and then I cry

I saw a clown on the TV
he was the saddest clown I've ever seen
it reminded me of when we were together, you see

You made me wear those clothes
it was a dress as red as a rose
I ended up in years of therapy

And now when I see a woman in red
I look at myself and it gets to my head
I know I can't help it, if she's ugly
but she's the prettiest girl I've ever seen

give me half, half a chance
I would shed this manly pose
I would be a woman instead
a woman instead

Dressed in red, yes I'm dressed in red
with flowers in my head and stars in my eyes
with flowers in my head and stars in my eyes

and now when I see a woman in red
I look at myself and it gets to my head
I know you can't help it if she's ugly
but I look at you
and you're the prettiest one that I've ever seen

Tears and hugs and kisses and goodbyes
makes me think of you sometimes
when you try to tell me those lies,
I end up laughing and then I cry
