Honestly, Nevermind | Drake's got us Dancing

Thursday afternoon, Drake surprised his fans with a new album announcement via Instagram. His 7th studio album — Honestly, Nevermind — would be dropping in just a matter of hours.

Accompanying the album release, Drake simultaneously dropped the star-studded music video for featured single, “Falling Back” alongside his friends like NBA star Tristan Thompson, and a whopping twenty-three name IG Starlets.

Polarizing the internet immediately upon release, droves of rap fans who were hoping for hard-hitting bars and flows were shocked when they were confronted with the 14-track dance album.

The final track, “Jimmy Cooks”, is the only “traditional” Hip Hop offering on project, including the sole featured artist and verse from Atlanta’s own 21 Savage. The album was executive produced by Black Coffee, a grammy-award winning artist, whose Afrobeats and Dancehall roots can be felt and heard across the entire body of work.

With fans feeling strongly in either direction of the album, only time will tell where Honestly, Nevermind ranks in the Toronto-native’s catalogue.

Though we’ll continue to see different hot-takes and opinions pour out over the weekend, the one thing we’re sure about is you will not be able to avoid this album if you step outside anywhere, on any continent, this summer…

Find a dance floor, grab a friend, and cut loose — this summer we’re DANCING!!
