One of the most exciting aspects of this album and roll-out is the lack of info we have on the overall direction of the album.

Looking back the direction on the past few albums/playlists:

Views: Experiencing the seasons in Toronto. We knew the album would be very much about the city based on the title.

More Life: Drake tours the world’s sounds with the help of his friends. We knew this based on snippets from the BMW tour, the OVOSR introducing ML, and more hints.

Scorpion: Drake splits up his music into two distinct sides with an overall darker production (no dancehall, limited “feel good” songs). Admittedly, this album was shaped at the last minute by the beef. However, we had plenty of singles, a lot of rumoured features, and of course the rumours hinting at Side A/B in the weeks leading up to the album.

For CLB, we genuinely don’t have much of an idea of the sound, features, length, etc. at all. The music dropped in the last few weeks (Popstar, Greece, Only You, LNCL) are all vastly different. And as of now, only Not Around is 100% confirmed on the album.

The possibilities are limitless and I’m curious to see the SXN’s opinion on what sonic direction you think Drizzy will explore in CLB, especially now that we have an official title.

(Sorry if I got any facts wrong or am re-hashing an old thread)

Judging off LNCL and Not Around, he is trying his hand at new production styles but other than that I have no idea which makes me that much more interested

This is least amount of info we’ve had this close to a project releasing since IYRTITL, which was a surprise album!

I know which makes it better since we have no idea what to expect!

Facts idk if it’s cause Drake’s music puts me in a good mood, but I feel like the lead single had a victory vibe to it.

Since he didn’t announce date with the single and album title, we thinking surprise drop is possible?

I really doubt we're going to see him really "experiment" and go left field with his sound like we're used to seeing artists like Frank Ocean and Kanye West. I'd love to see him totally switch it up and give us a refined and focused project but I wouldn't be surprised if we get another 20 track bloated project to be used to milk streaming numbers.

As far as flows and rapping, Drake does his thing but the lead single isn't any indication that he'll give us something new. It's solid and safe which is okay, he isn't that kind of artist nor does it seem like he wants to be.

Lie to Me
Intoxicated
Lotta 42
Not Around

As far as Lie to Me, Lotta 42 and Intoxicated go, which I think will definitely be on the album, are all cohesive and the later two both sample Biggie.

It’s going to be like NWTS as far as influence from the 90’s goes (see his IG pics for reference, especially ones that were taken on the Kodak a while ago)

It’ll be a fresh take on R&B, different styles of engineering, gonna bear Drake using different plugins, s***s gonna sound experimental to an extent (drake using the vocoder on Lie to me, experimenting with autotune and pitches)

I’m sure there will be a ton of fire verses
