His new song, &#8216;Without You&#8217;, is an infectious tune embodying Drew&#8217;s mix of Pop and R&amp;B, combined with International and Island sounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drew toured Europe in Autumn 2016, where he worked with Grammy Award winning and platinum-selling producers, on five new singles. &#8216;Without You&#8217;, was written and produced in Sweden, with Chris Wahle, Lisa Desmond, and Sowlkid. The video premiered on BET and VEVO this month, and was shot in Barbados. The clip showcases the gorgeousness of that island country, with the bluest of blue waters, white sands, and rocky shores &#8211; while Drew is joined by a beautiful Barbadian woman. Drew&#8217;s message is that you have to take the good with the bad, and when you do so, your life will always be worth living.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Drew Vision online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drewvision\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/drewvision.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tumblr<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drewvision\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewvision.com\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.
