Now Drakes album has been available for a couple of weeks, I finally got the time to sit and have a thorough listen to it in its entirety. Before hearing the album I had my reservations on whether Drizzy would grow as a recording artist and push forward to the next level, or would we just get another 17 slow jam/fast rap album. After listening I was pleasantly surprised, obviously we do see a lot of Drakes trademark style but Take Care does offer something more. For me this album is the best of his career so far, the production standard, as a whole the collaborations work well with a verse from Andre in the track
The Real Her a particular favourite for me. The production standard, the finish of the album and generally seems a lot more polished than his previous two efforts.
However the Stand out track for me is the song which takes the albums name featuring Rihanna. This is the second time this year we have heard these two work together after Rihanna taking the lead on the well received
What’s My Name, this time the roles are reversed with Drake fronting and doing a great job.
This song I feel is a genuine contender for a late entry for song of the year. With the Piano bringing the smoothness to the track while the tribal drums bring the head-nodding bass throughout. The two sounds of Piano/Drums can be compared to the styles of this very current couple. Overall a really strong Rhythm and blues album with not many artists currently being able to match Drizzys ability and success in this genre.
Drake- Tke Care feat. Rihanna
