Initial reviews of Drake’s new dance album, Honestly, Nevermind, are skewed by the negative side of rap fans even though other music fans love them. The head of the OVO heard the speech and responded.
Early this morning (June 17), Drake was partying all night in what appears to be a sort of album launch event. During the party, Drake devoted himself to addressing the bad reviews and memes that were being made in response to his new non-traditional dance project. In the clip, which was recorded on his Instagram account, the song “Calling My Name” by Honestly, Nevermind is played in the background.
“Everything’s fine if you still don’t get it. It’s all right,” Drake says. “That’s what we do. Hopefully you’ll catch on. We’re here, though. We’re trapped. Let’s move on to the next one. My God.”
Drake decided to try something different with his seventh solo album, which is his attempt to try house music. The new album includes 14 songs and only one guest appearance from 21 Savage. Most of the production was by the legendary DJ Black Coffee, 40 and Gordo, also known as Carnage. Most fans did not expect the sharp contrast of Aubrey’s normal words and responded with negative reviews.
“Drake actually made an album full of songs that you hear in the back of a mall,” one user commented.
Forever 21 even started to be a trend because people were comparing the album to the fashion store atmosphere.
“It’s giving me … a lot of forever 21, hollister, abercrombie & fitch, hobby lobby background music, but it’s an album!” someone else added.
It looks like fans who were left with a sour taste in their mouths won’t have too much time to bother. Drake announced on Thursday night (June 16) that he will soon be releasing Scary Hours 3. Despite the dull reviews, frankly, Nevermind is making numbers. It has already become the largest dance album in the history of Apple Music in terms of first-day reproductions.
