And once again we can say that Drake is the enormous expectations. But on "Take Care" He reinvents itself not completely new, but has its typical style, the swirling synthesizers, the muffled drums and his slightly säuselige Sing-voice consistently developed and driven in some places almost to perfection. Here as well as his rap skills were not affected. Flow Technically presented Drake if he really gets going first, absolutely on top form.
This album is here none for hip-hop purists. Even those who have celebrated more for his rapping styles Drake, will be able to make friends not entirely with "Take Care". But too much is sung here. The only flawless rap songs are limited to the space between the Interludes (exception: "HYFR"). The rest is very much on R & B and sometimes influenced by Pop. Drake comes here fully at its expense. On the beats, which often exude a melancholy mood, he told stories of his superstar life, but never content with superficialities (at least very rarely). Rather, it gives us a very emotionally honest look into his private life. The song "Look What You've Done", in the Drake very well reflects the relationship with his mother without being too kitschy, here represents the highlight of these stories.
This makes the other title but no less worth hearing. On The Contrary. Most pearls can be seen only after repeated listening. Although my album has not quite promised after the first run, it convinced now but by its sheer integrity and consistency in sound. That normally goes with such attributes associated but that an album is totally monotonous and interchangeable. Drake knows that sent loosen by tracks like "Take Care", which features a loose sound, as well as the middle fraction convinces raptechnischer base. Especially "Lord Knows" forms in the ways a small climax, which is not touched on bombast in the further course. The very peaceful conclusion gets enough energy through "HYFR", but also the catchy, intense instrumental chorus of "Practice". So the album can then finish off quite calm and relaxed with "The Ride", without it being long-winded while listening.
The production is always at a very good, at times superior level. Even Drake's house producer "40" has evolved just as the Vocalist even the beats sound more dynamic, thoughtful, not as mechanically -. Better than on "Thank Me Later". T-Minus ensures that the hip-hop tracks are supplied with enough energy and Boi-1da makes on "Headlines" that for which one loves him - a catchy, not nested, going forward Banger.
Although "Take Care" is no longer as accessible as its predecessor, it is clearly successful. Drake looks authentic, beats and his flow going better into each other and the themes also fit. So always liked the people, the Drake's quiet side have a strong buy recommendation, applies to all others that you can listen at least once.
Now even my 5 Favourites:
1. Take Care - Drake and feature guest Rihanna harmonize wonderfully here and tell a good measure of confidence that the transition period from one relationship to another.
2. Practice - When the beat starts, it is difficult to keep his head still. A great R & B Paraphrase of Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up" of 1999th
3. Crew Love - That OVOXO works Mixtape "Thursday" was indeed observed already on Weeknd's. This collabo manifests the statement even more.
4. The Real Her - the most impressive guest post on "Take Care" provides here Andre 3000 from. Drake and his mentor Lil 'Wayne do the rest.
5. Over My Dead Body - The intro makes the sound of the album accurately.
