In the context of this dark-tinted album, the straightforwardly flashy “Headlines” sounds practically joyful, even as Drake apologizes for his fame.

New record, same old miserably kick-ass life.Ī bass drum like a heartbeat leads into a ballad complete with Eighties synths Phil Collins might croon over, as Drake pours over the wreckage of an old love: “May angels protect and heaven accept you.” When you break up with Drake, you don’t just get an ex-boyfriend – you get a benediction. “Shout out to Asian girls / Let the lights dim sum.” Take Care opens with a grandiose ode to fame, power and money, complete with the kind of poignant pianos and synth streaks that undercut his brags with a tinge of sadness: “I was drinking at the Palms last night / And ended up losing everything I came with,” he raps.

Drake is still the same lovably conflicted dude, and that’s part of what makes Take Care – which leaked over the weekend – compelling. The much-anticipated follow-up is more expansive, with producers from Just Blaze to the Neptunes to Lex Luger creating tracks that range from piano-laden R&B to Southern hip-hop, and guests like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, The Weeknd and Lil Wayne rolling through to liven things up. The Canadian rapper’s tales of the high life were tinged with a sense of regret that perfectly fit the spare, somber tone in his music. Drake’s 2010 debut Thank Me Later was one of the most striking hip-hop coming-out parties in recent memory.
