For all intents and purposes, the Drake of Views is the same one we got on If YouвЂ™re Reading This and What a Time, but if his previous proper album ( Nothing Was the Same) foretold anything, itвЂ™s that the man peering down from CN Tower sees things differently than the rest of us. He isnвЂ™t too much for the world, though, ruminating on his position as one of musicвЂ™s biggest names-and those whoвЂ™d rather he wasnвЂ™t-on songs like вЂњStill Here,вЂќ вЂњHype,вЂќ and вЂњGrammys.вЂќ Maybe the the most affecting acknowledgment to this end is the fact that вЂњHotline Bling,вЂќ a strong contender for 2015 song of the summer, was such an afterthought by the time Views was released that it appears here as a bonus track. There are references here to specific people (вЂњRedemptionвЂќ), places (вЂњWeston Road FlowsвЂќ), and experiences (вЂњViewsвЂќ), along with nods to the influence of the cityвЂ™s Caribbean population on вЂњWith You,вЂќ вЂњControlla,вЂќ and вЂњToo GoodвЂќ (which just happens to feature Rihanna). вЂњI made a decision last night that I would die for it,вЂќ Drake raps on вЂњ9.вЂќ вЂњJust to show the city what it takes to be alive for it.вЂќ DrakeвЂ™s presence eclipsed Toronto just about as soon as So Far Gone dropped, but the city-and what it thinks of him-was never far from his mind. Views, which followed two wildly successful projects in 2015 that heвЂ™d branded as mixtapes- If YouвЂ™re Reading This ItвЂ™s Too Late and the Future collab What a Time to Be Alive-would confirm him as both, his penchant for immaculate songwriting still fully intact and the pressures of existing as the most popular voice in rap, as well as his hometownвЂ™s most successful export, weighing heavy on his mind. He looks less like the superhero heвЂ™d made himself into over the course of a roughly six-year rise as singer-songwriter extraordinaire and more like a troubled monarch. A вЂњSummer Sixteen TourвЂќ webpage was temporarily live on Live Nation, including one city (Detroit), a countdown to the ticket sale, and the partnership of DrakeвЂ™s frequent collaborator Future.On the cover of his fourth studio album Views, Drake looks down from atop TorontoвЂ™s CN Tower, paying homage to the cityвЂ™s notoriously frigid winter temperatures in a heavyweight shearling coat and high-cut boots. Cryptic billboards appeared at several locations in Toronto showcasing various ways of portraying the number six.ДЇurthermore, a tour to accompany the album release seems to be in the works. Pop-up shops were opened in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami for one-day merchandise giveaways.

Forbes has reported that the album will be exclusively on Apple Music for the first week of release.ДrakeвЂ™s marketing team has been hard at work promoting the album. The release date, revealed on OVO Sound Radio, is on April 29. The hype for Views From the 6 is reaching critical mass. вЂњTo the city I love and the people in it.Thank you for everything,вЂќ Drake wrote to his followers. It is literally a picture of Drake enjoying the view from the tallest tower in the вЂњ6.вЂќ Drake tweeted the cover art for his upcoming album, Views From the 6, on Sunday night, featuring. The cover, which features the Toronto rapper sitting on top of the cityвЂ™s CN Tower, was released through his Twitter and Instagram. Apparently, Drake doesnвЂ™t have as amazing a view as his new album cover may lead fans to believe. DrakeвЂ™s Views From the 6 now has an album cover.
