Drake Views

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]ime spent in its company reveals moments of careful craftsmanship and ingenuity. 'Controlla' is an airy dancehall confection; 'Still Here' is a remarkable amalgam of aggression and softness..."
"'9' sounds like someone is throwing handfuls of glitter onto the track. 'Feel No Ways' is a taut '80s throwback, while 'With You' -- another standout thanks to that nightingale Jeremih, as well as Murda Beatz's buoyant backdrop -- couldn't feel more current."
"As ever, Drake excels at cleverly worded tales of modern love, universal sentiments related in hyper-current terms..." -- Grade: B
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he spectral R&B samples and skittering beats of regular collaborator Noah '40' Shebib ensure blockbuster moments..."
"[R]emarkably, his signature brand of downbeat introspection remains gripping."
Clash (Magazine) - "Heartbreak and introspection, offset by a healthy dose of braggadocio and tongue-in-cheek humour, propel 'Views' through the cold, sparse emo-rap landscape that was first put into the public consciousness by Kanye's 808S & HEARTBREAKS."
