The Listening Room

Yes! I’ll be ready for the hot takes when I dive in tomorrow. 🔥🔥🔥

Trying to come at this with no preconceived notions or biases. The listening guide is definitely helping me better understand Drake’s context and contributions.

Just hit the midway point. Lots of ebbs and flows to the album. Not much in between, though?

Blindsided by Hold On, We’re Going Home. I can’t tell where Drake is on the track. It doesn’t sound like anything else up to this point. It feels like The Weeknd randomly placed a song on this album.

Sampha is so good! Too Much immediately hit. 🪩🪩🪩

That was a super fun listen. The guide and prompts gave me a crutch for understanding the album. Me general feeling on Drake hasn’t changed a ton. I think the r&b influence might be a bit too heavy for me. I definitely have a new found appreciation for 40’s productions though.
