A fresh one, I love the melodic line at 0:57 on "Blinding Lights" where he does a thing with his vocals, that for an instant it goes up and down which is something I guess that is noticeable only when the song performer is a vocalist, and it sounds sooo cool!
I'm talking about that line where he sings about eyelids, where he says "I can see clearly when yoOOOooou're go-o-one"
the zone "and i dont give a DAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNN" and the ambient transition into drakes most iconic verse
initiation
"its a f***in celebration deep voice ohhhh yeaahah" it was perfectly timed and it gives me chills every time
his vocal runs on the second hook of outside "BABY U WONT WANNA GO OUT-SIIIDDEE... yea" man his f***in voice. one of the greatest ever. he was vocally channeling prince the most on EoS and wish he'd do it again on his pop s***, but ppl wont be able to sing along at shows. at 3:00 to 3:10. an o*****ic 10 seconds of music.
die for you's hook
the beat switch on i was never there. specifically the start of the verse "Ooh, now I know what love is
And I know it ain't you for sure" his delivery and melody.. my god his falsetto.
the bridge on belong to the world, specifically that "OOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when the drums speed up before it transitions into the hook for the last time. so godly
The moment on adaptation when he says ‘she might just be the one’ for the final time and he goes ooooh in high pitch in the background, so beautiful.
The first hook on TP&TAP when you hear the snorting in the background and he goes ‘ah oeh ah ah ah’
When he says ‘my serotonins Gone a while ago’ and you hear a guitar in the background kind of going lower and fading out.
On Xo / the Host at 3:37 or so, when he goes ‘but if they won’t let you in, you know where to find me’ and part of the beat cuts out.
When he says ‘Call out my name’ at 2:20 with the distortion, hits me hard af
Whole intro to Secrets.
Just realised I’m f***ing s*** at the describing these thing but ye
In Loft Music when the music slows down around 2:43 and he busts out the high notes asking what you thinking about, with the vibrations massaging your brain

the ones already mentioned from Adaptation and elsewhere are all fire.
one of my all-time favorites, which initially I didn't think much of, is the second verse of "Outside"
(starting with "and i'ma work you like a pro, baby" and ending with "let's make it seem like we're all we need in the end"
I heard that while coming up on acid and molly and it got so stuck in my soul that nowadays when I sing along to music in general, my default improv vocal melodies consistently end up sounding like that part of "Outside," no matter what key the song is in
on the Delay when he takes a deep ass breath (its around 2:30)

Second verse of Outside is godly
When the Japanese girl is crying on coming down and he starts singing over it. I'm not even an AAN but that's genius

She has no recollection of the life she had without me
She let it slip away, aaaaaaaway, aaaaaaaaaway
