With his new album ‘Views’, the 6 God shows off two different sides of Drizzy. The groovy “One Dance” featuring Wizkid and Kyla could easily become a dancefloor magnet, while “Pop Style” features a reunion of epic proportions with contributions from Watch The Throne tandem Kanye West and Jay Z.
“All my n---as wanna do is pop style, turn my birthday into a lifestyle,” raps Drake over the menacing beat. Hov and 'Ye (dubbed “The Throne”) bring back memories of their 2011 collaborative project as they trade lines about their critics. The official releases follow previously leaked cuts “These Days,” “Controlla” featuring Popcaan and “Faithful” with a verse from the late Pimp C.
‘“Views” shows how Drake’s original sound has become a genre unto itself — not just as a template for others but also for Drake himself. The framework pioneered by him and his right-hand producer, 40 — tender, lush, soothing melodies about romantic vulnerability — can be used for songs about heartbreak, but also for songs about competitive stress, mistrust and fear.’ – The New York Times
“When the rapper debuted a 20-song homage, titled Views, to his native Toronto in the dead of night yesterday, he not only churned out some of his most effusive work to date (just check out “Feel No Ways” for tons of, well, feels), but perhaps his biggest fashion statement.” – Vogue
