Drake's Views

Decent Essays

Drake's new album called “Views” extremely caught my attention. This album had numerous exceptional songs that I could easily relate to. I connected to this album better than some of his other albums that were produced such as “So Far Gone” and “Room For Improvement” because this album had more diversity. For instance, in this album, he put a lot of his thoughts into it but he also put logic. “Views” was the fourth studio album by Drake and was also supported by five billboard singles: "Hotline Bling", "One Dance", "Pop Style", "Controlla" and "Too Good", which are some of my favorite tracks from this album. I absolutely love this album because it shows the struggles that Drake has faced emotionally and it gives us the ability to connect to …show more content…

For example, the album “Views” is much longer than his other albums, on this album he has 20 tracks, which is approximately 82 minutes. Also, it is a very diverse album, each track has a different message that he is trying to convey. For example, in the track “Keep The Family Close” it basically talks about how friends’ that he did have aren't his friends anymore, which is why he feels he needs his family because he can’t depend on his friends anymore. Another example from this album is the track “Redemption.” This track is about how Drake is searching for the right words to say to an ex.

Ultimately, this album is about how Drakes emotions and choices affect his life either for the better or for the …show more content…

It is worth it because the content is relatable and it is not just random words that are put together with a cool beat. It has a deeper meaning, for example, Drake has many emotions that are mixed into this album, such as regret, sadness, and it is mostly about his past. In addition, this album shows Drakes vulnerable side. Often times we think that celebrities have it easier than us because they basically have everything they can ask for and if they don't they can just buy their way into it. However, this album shows that even though he is a celebrity and can have anyone or anything he wants, he still hurts just like the rest of us, he is not untouchable. This is why I genuinely admire this album because it is raw and honest. He shows all of his flaws and does not pretend to be perfect, which many celebrities do. All in all, I believe that this album is excellent because it is a reminder to everyone that no matter if someone is rich or poor they all go through emotions and
