“Friends First” by Julian Roy

Julian Roy is one to watch in the R&B and soul world. In “friends first” you’ll be taken into a whimsical world of vocal riffs accompanying a soft yet passionate lyrical journey. In his newest song, he releases a slow love song about enjoying the simple things when it comes to a relationship.

This song is all about the butterflies that come from being friends first before diving into love. Julian Roy tells this story beautifully through his simple production and stripped down instrumentals.

I loved every second of this song and I just know you will too.
