Love it or hate it, Drake\u2019s new album, Take Care, brings the classic consistency that gained him popularity on his freshman album, Thank Me Later.<\/p>\n
Drake states in an interview to VEVO News, \u201dthe album is my attempt at retracing all the steps in a way more vivid manner than I have in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
The album opens with the track \u201cOver My Dead Body,\u201d a song that reminisces like a musical biography that plays the ups and downs of his experiences in the high life so far as a rapper.<\/p>\n
The album\u2019s tone melodically flows with slow beats that have seemingly become a signature of a Drake album.<\/p>\n
Cameos by Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Andre 3000 and the legendary Stevie Wonder bring some impressive tracks to the complete LP.<\/p>\n
There are a few tracks off-tempo with the overall flow of the album. The track \u201cLord Knows,\u201d featuring Rick Ross, has the signature Maybach Music tone that’s synonymous with Ross.
\nDrake stepped a little out of his stage on this track because although he leads the entire song, Ross comes in at the end with one verse and dominates Drake.<\/p>\n
Although outshined in \u201cLord Knows,\u201d Drake does impress listeners in \u201cPractice,\u201d bringing a new look to the Cash Money hit \u201cBack That Azz Up\u201d in a way only Drake can.<\/p>\n
\u201cPractice\u201d sounds like something that you would expect on a mix-tape, but it sets a nice homage to the Cash Money glory days.<\/p>\n
The album already has five singles out of the total twenty tracks, but I wouldn\u2019t expect to see Drake\u2019s name mentioned for a Grammy this year\u2014at least for any songs on Take Care.
