“We’re just really getting back to basics and not giving ourselves any sense of deadline,” El-Khatib said. The track list Drake released prior to the album’s official debut did not specify guests, even for the previously released songs, but the roster of featured artists ranges from hip-hop heavyweights like the Throne to international artists such as dancehall performer Popcaan and British singer Kyla.Īs on his other studio albums, Drake has continued to work with his OVO team, including Oliver El-Khatib and Noah “40” Shebib, both of whom spoke about the album last September with the Fader. Leaked tracks “Controlla” featuring Popcaan and “Faithful” featuring Pimp C, which Drake has not released officially, are also included on the final track list. His 2015 smash hit “Hotline Bling,” a song he debuted during his radio show last summer amid his Meek Mill feud, is the album’s sole bonus track. The track list does, however, include Drake’s recently released songs “One Dance” featuring Wizkid and Kyla and “Pop Style” featuring Jay Z and Kanye West, who are billed together as the Throne. The single’s title also happens to be the name of his summer tour with Future, which begins in July. Noticeably absent is “ Summer Sixteen,” a track he debuted on OVO Sound in January just moments before confirming the April release of his new album.

In keeping with the original title of Views From the 6, a reference to Drake’s home of Toronto – the current city was formerly made up of six smaller cities – the album’s cover shows an image of the city’s CN Tower. The Beatles in India: 16 Things You Didn't Know Given his prolific output for the past three years as he has wrapped up the LP now simply titled Views, information is muddled as to what fans can expect from the upcoming release. He began discussing the follow-up to Nothing Was the Same in 2014 – and even gave it a provisional title, Views From the 6 – but instead of releasing his next proper full-length, he has surprised fans with several unofficial singles and two acclaimed album-length mixtapes: high-profile solo effort If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and Future collaboration What a Time to Be Alive. Nineteen85, Boi-1da, Kanye West, and others are also listed.ĭrake is preparing to release Views, his fourth studio album, on Friday after a long, mysterious wait.
The listing he posted reveals much of the production was helmed by 40 himself. UPDATE: Drake’s producer and engineer, Noah “40” Shebib, has unveiled Views‘ track list alongside each song’s producers on Instagram. Views will be officially released at midnight ET on iTunes and Apple Music and following its release there will be a special Drake-related Snapchat.
The interview time has been changed to 10:45 p.m.
