I love this, would welcome another Drake #1 with this tbh

Posted by: Liаm 7th April 2018, 03:55 AM

Ok that is WAY more like it than God's Plan etc., bit of a bop *.*

My fave of his in a long time. Probably since the 'Take Care' era. Atm, it's the situation where this is a 7 out of 10 after he released so many 4 out of 10's sorta thing. Wouldn't mind if it grew on me.

I'm confident it'll be another #1 for him, but knowing our luck this will struggle and have a poor run in comparison or something haha. But yeah. Not bad.

How funny, I was listening to Ex Factor a couple of days ago for the first time in a long time and was thinking it was surely due some sort of revival much better track than God’s Plan.

I actually found 'God's Plan' more instant than this, but I reckon this will sound great in the sun! Sounds like FIFA music too

I don't think it'll do quite as well as God's Plan.

WELCOME! I love love loved "Ex-Factor" when I was a kid. In fact it made numero uno in my chart

Not sure I particularly like the song though

Nice for what?

Nice for Drake to stop creating music please.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 7th April 2018, 10:14 AM

Not keen. I just want Take Care 2.0

Posted by: Dobbo 7th April 2018, 10:29 AM

We already had that in Too Good

This is sounding like another amaaaazing track, another huge hit hopefully.

Posted by: BridgeCow 7th April 2018, 10:34 AM

Oh wait this isn’t bad wow

Posted by: The Snake 🐍 7th April 2018, 11:24 AM

Wow this does remind me of early Kanye in style, with the rapping over a retro soulful sample!

I think I prefer it to 'God's Plan' (although I quite liked 'God's Plan' tbh), nice summery sounding song as ML Hammer said.

That statement alone is empirical proof of just how much his quality standards have slipped.

Posted by: Jack 7th April 2018, 11:57 AM

This is actually really good? Wtf.

I love the video too.

Posted by: Botchia 7th April 2018, 04:27 PM

This is incredible! I can see it being another huge hit for him too.

Posted by: Cremey 7th April 2018, 05:08 PM

‘Ex Factor’ is one of my favourite songs of all time, so here for this 😍

Posted by: The Snake 🐍 7th April 2018, 05:12 PM

Drake putting his new song's video on youtube immediately, since when did this happen?

I thought he used to not put it up for a while, which I assumed was to encourage streaming. Must have changed his policy.

Posted by: SevenSeize 9th April 2018, 01:15 AM

can't get enough of this! what a glorious, relentless bop *.*

Posted by: Bré 9th April 2018, 04:41 PM

Oh this is a certified banger *.* serving some retro Kanye type vibes. Much more instant for me than 'God's Plan' was although time will tell if I'll end up liking this one more than that over time. x

Posted by: _jase 9th April 2018, 07:37 PM

It doesn't really go anywhere. Bland :/

Posted by: Dexton 12th April 2018, 05:18 AM

I actually love this The video is amazing too, so many brilliant women in just 4 minutes (especially loved Olivia Wilde in this)

Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 07:17 AM

agree on olivia wilde

Posted by: lewistgreen 14th April 2018, 01:42 PM

God's Plan was such a dull disappointment but this is so much better! Love the Lauryn Hill sample.

Posted by: Midge 15th April 2018, 09:37 AM

I like this enough to be playing it semi-regularly. Still nowhere near "Hotline Bling" or "One Dance" standard though.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 15th April 2018, 10:25 AM

This sounds good coming out the car speakers on a sunny day!

Posted by: Botchia 15th April 2018, 05:12 PM

#1 in the US with 60.4m streams and 88k downloads! In comparison God's Plan did 47.5m and 35k this week.

Also the fourth act ever to hold 3 singles in the top 5 in one week as Look Alive is #5, after The Beatles, 50 Cent and Justin Bieber.
