Posted August 12, 20204 yr may as well start a fresh topic for his forthcoming album given the mixtape thread amassed five pages. 7EUVJaKJtBY JFm7YDVlqnI
August 12, 20204 yr I’m always here for new Drake music but a whole album not so soon after the mixtape may be a bit too much! But I’ll reserve judgement until I hear the whole thing. Wonder what the direction of the album will be and if sonically it’ll be different from the mixtape. I’m here for a Bruno collab though :cheer:
August 14, 20204 yr Author it's quite good but not really what I want from a Drake lead single, Lil Durk was definitely not needed on this either, especially with the runtime being 4:21.
August 20, 20204 yr Must likely another #10 for Drake on the Reshuffle Chart next week. Really liking this from Drake. It's good to hear that are other Drake fans on here.
August 21, 20204 yr Must likely another #10 for Drake on the Reshuffle Chart next week. Really liking this from Drake. It's good to hear that are other Drake fans on here. I’m a fan of his! I often find this site isn’t so keen on him but I think a lot of it is possibly to do with how extreme his success is / has been in the past. But he’s definitely one of the best male artists and I’m excited for the new era.
August 21, 20204 yr Not instantly an all-time Drake fave but I do like it, the beat drops / the instrumental in general sounds great. Think it'll be a grower ~ (need to get used to the hook having so much empty space in it). It's actually probably the most instant Drake lead single for a while for me even still ('One Dance' and 'God's Plan' both took a few listens for me to get into properly). Kind of cool to see Lil Durk getting a feature on a Drake lead single but he's definitely underutilised on this, I thought his part was decent but it's way too short to really have any impact on the song overall either way. That album title is awful but I get the feeling it's intentional in a 'taking the piss out of himself' way (see also: the video for this song) lol xx
October 25, 20204 yr Good to see confirmation of this now! I think that’s actually a wise decision to release it then too. I think he could be in for another big era when this does drop but it’s good that there’ll be anticipation/ hype for this now there’s a rough time scale of when it’s coming out and hopefully (although I’m not holding my breath) there’ll be a physical release too.
October 25, 20204 yr All the year end chart accolades will be his then, in the US at least. But it's wise move as his popularity is fading a bit overall - same with Justin Bieber last year. Yummy was one of the biggest streaming hits for months due to early release.
October 25, 20204 yr Author ah, was hoping we'd get it this year but it makes sense from his POV to wait until January which is historically a quiet time as he probably doesn't have much chance against the big physical sellers of Q4. (also he really needs a BIG hit to lead into it, LNCL just wasn't it).
October 25, 20204 yr Q4 makes no sense for drake it's not like anyone is gonna buy a Drake CD as a Xmas present :)
January 21, 20214 yr Officially delayed: Drake shared the news earlier tonight (January 20) in an Instagram story. “I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” he wrote, referring to a knee injury he sustained in the fall of 2020. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021.”
January 22, 20214 yr He is also probably trying to find a chart smash from somewhere. The current global pop trends are not on his side. US will of course support him to some extent.
March 4, 20214 yr I'm curious to know what the source is for it being 3 songs? The only thing he posted is the cover art and release date ~ (but I don't think this is the first time you've posted things that don't seem to have any source but then turn out to be true :lol: are you an industry insider or something xx)
