![]() ![]() ![]() Rather than “runnin’ through the 6”, Drake is ambling. Views sprawls through monotony, anonymity and self-indulgence. On Views, one cannot help avoid the realities of the latter. At times since Take Care, an album encapsulated by Drake’s exquisite epic to drunken, unrequited lust ‘Marvin’s Room’, Drake has trodden a fine line between that empowering self-awareness, and pure self-absorption. At his best, Drake inspires in his audience an exuberant commonality, creating anthemic music out of his own self-awareness. Ever since 2011’s muddled, sprawling masterpiece Take Care, Drake’s unique selling-point has been his ability to offer a peek into the deepest corners of his soul, to make his anxieties relatable, to make himself human despite his superstardom. At his best, he’s an artist who displays immense vulnerability in a genre where that quality is hard to come by.
