Last week, without any warning or promotion, Drake released a new album, "If You're Reading This It's Too Late". It could be seen as an attempt to do a "Beyonce", but in fact it's probably more likely he's trying to burn through his contract with Cash Money Records. But the question remains, is this a new album or just a new mixtape? I'm not sure I'm "qualified" to make the distinction. But enough of that, I was keen to hear the album, I'm seeing Drake perform in Melbourne next week and wanted to hear his new stuff.
Let's get it out there, this is solid work, a good album, not his best, but certainly a good album. There's nothing here as strong as "Marvin's Room" or "Hold On, We're Going Home", in fact there's nothing here that's really a single - but pieced together as a whole, it's great album.
