Bryson Tiller & Drake Are “Outta Time” In New Single
Bryson Tiller’s gradual return to the spotlight has been underscored by nostalgia, with the singer revisiting his debut album Trapsoul and even naming his new album Anniversary after the 5 year milestone his first album just celebrated.
It was a different time when Tiller first dropped “Don’t” and got the entire Internet in their feelings. In fact, it’s impact was so widely felt that Drake and his go-to producer 40 reached out to Tiller to sign with OVO off the strength of that one single. Although Tiller would eventually end up signing with RCA, it was still all love between the two.
The two have been teasing music together since 2017 and have held off on treating fans to a collaboration since. It’s fitting, then, that the sole feature on Anniversary is none other than Drake himself.
The Toronto rapper brings frequent collaborators Vinylz, Nineteen85 & 40 along to craft a sensual and airy beat that sets the perfect setting for the two artist’s first appearance together on wax.
Vinylz & 40 are adept at repurposing existing songs into an airy backdrop, pitching up Snoh Aalegra’s “Fool For You” and transforming it into another instrument in the mix the same way they did with Che Ecru’s “Before I Die” on “No Guidance.”
Suffice it to say, fans won’t be disappointed.

Quotable Lyrics
I’ve been thinking maybe
Things were never the
Way we made em out to be
How we thought they were
Lately I’m not sure
One thing for sure
Is when we’re together
We’re toxic as ever
Make no mistake, all the roads lead
To we shouldn’t be together

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
