Drake - Honestly, Nevermind (2022)

“Falling back” is a weird single yeah, it’s one of the weakest tracks in here.

“Jimmy Cooks”, “Sticky” and “Massive” are the obvious choices for singles imho.

“Down Hill” and “Tie that binds” could work too. Really like those two - I agree “Down Hill” could have been an even better song with some work.

Opening tracks are the ones I don’t really care for… album really gets on track for me Sticky onwards.

Sticky onwards every song has hit potential. Forgot “Overdrive” that one is also an obvious single…. I really don’t get why choose “falling back” when there’s at least 5 better choices for singles in here.

Yeah « overdrive » is pretty good. Also I » quite fond of the end of « calling my name ». So far I agree that the second half of the album is the strongest.

Also agree that « Jimmy Cooks » is quite obvious as a single (especially the first part). Actually back to my movie OST comparison, it’s very different from the rest of the album and as the final track I see/hear it as a end credits music!

Lol at the wedding singer guy

Classic

i want to like this bcuz he's made great house pop songs before but i'm not finding a ton to grasp onto here. i feel like he fell off from a songwriting perspective or ran out of ideas for songs. or is trying to make an actual dance record which... yeah. it's definitely better than scorpion and certified lover boy but that's clearing a bar that is lying on the floor. compared to "take care," "passionfruit," "get it together" i don't find this all that engaging sadly

based on this i've gone back to "passionfruit" a few times. what a great song, i like it even more than i did at the time.

"massive" is definitely a retread but there's enough there that it's growing on me.

nb i've totally stayed away from drake for the most part so my opinion isn't based on much

i finally listened to this and i think it's pretty good, tho yeah also somewhat slight

have to say i really didn't expect a pop star to adopt like spencer parker piano house right now, feels like i'm finally having the experience where "the thing i'm into" is being coopted for a momentary fad and i see how people get bummed out by it lol.

Really enjoyed this album late last night off an edible, works in an almost ASMR way.
