CERTIFIED LOVER BOY - Drake - Album Review

CLB...why did it do this for what?

In April 2019, Drake announced at a concert that he had started to work on a new album. In June 2019, he teased the album via Instagram, where he captioned a post with "Album mode". On December 10, Drake made a guest appearance at DaBaby's concert in Toronto, where he revealed that he was working on the album: "I'ma go back to the crib and try to finish this album up so we can turn up in 2020". In March, on Instagram Live, Drake confirmed a finalized version of "Not Around", a leaked song later retitled to "TSU", would feature on Certified Lover Boy. That same month, frequent collaborator Boi-1da previewed two snippets of songs with Drake during a Verzuz with Hit-Boy. The two snippets were dubbed "I Did" and another snippet with Roddy Ricch was dubbed "In the Cut". Drake officially announced his sixth studio album just hours before the release of Dark Lane Demo Tapes, and scheduled for release in late 2020.

Drake later previewed two new songs, one an unreleased track titled "Lie to Me" and the other a demo version of his 2020 DJ Khaled collaboration "Greece", on Instagram Live. On July 29, 2020, Drake's recording engineer Noel Cadastre revealed the album was "90% done". On August 14, 2020, Drake announced the title of the album. In October, Drake announced that the album would be released in January 2021, but it was postponed once again due to Drake suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Describe CLB in 1 to 3 words
edit: lesbian cant be one of them

[koolwear]

I’ve been saying this for years. People are finally seeing that he just cares about the numbers and not the art. This album clearly shows that he is completely aware that his fans would eat up anything.

[dillpi]

that was the most scathing review for a 5/10 ever

[blackkeiron]

Crazy how when more life dropped everyone was hating on fake London fake Jamaican Drake, but every song off that album was better than any song on CBL

[adityabaruah]

You don't have to review this, just review the last 3 albums... Practically the same lol

[justsomebloke]

i was lowkey excited for CLB (corny asf album rollout aside). thought drake might clap back with some heat after having so much disrespect thrown on his name
CLB goes to show why drake isn't taken as seriously in the game as he used to be

[NahumTheLemon]

"listening to a guy with access to the best production, writing and resources making the same five songs about being a 35 year old fuckboy getting his heartbroken for the millionth time"

[SPACECOWBOY]

You look like an even more nerdy version of Logic

You have a great voice though 👍🏿

[max-mkl]

The album was kinda dissapointing indeed and there is no particular reason for me to listen to it over and over again. Even the EP with 3 songs was way more interesting and I personally enjoy scary hours 2 a lot more. Its a different style etc. yes I get it. But that's just personal preference and the way I feel about it

[umraansyed]

My man is dyslexic with his acronyms on this one.

[jobsmine]

True that. I found CLB to be bland, easily forgettable with no effort on the music. . I think he fell by miles this time. The project seemed poorly delivered for me. Maybe I was expecting a little more effort, but nothing except disappointing results. It’s even low for drake’s project. It's the same monotonic style as Eminem has been doing for the last 10 years tbh.

[Ayushmanz]

The album sounded like as if drake actually wrote the lyrics

[superbconfidence]

This guy's review of CLB album is spot on... I 100% agree with everything he said!!!🤰🏻🤰🏽🤰🏿

[JGtheefreemind]

I agree with 99% of your review. Where we are on complete opposite sides on this tho is that Jay ZVerse. Idk what you heard but it's far from lazy. Also More Life bottom 3 in his discography

[Nikk-Astyr]

0:43 I don't know if it was intentional, but HOLY SHIT YOU FUCKING KILLED HIM BRO!

[SamFocused]

I like how honest and objective you have been with your review, even as you mention your self as a drake Stan. Keep moving ur good work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Vayish]

Although I wasn’t a big fan of CLB (especially cuz we’ve seen Drake songs hit way better and a lot of the songs just felt repetitive aside from a few exceptions), I definitely some songs brought back a bit of the old Drake vibes (like the one with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross). Potentially he’s either saying I want to go back to my old ways but can’t, or he’s slowly realizing that most his fans want the old him back!

[Omar-cwgg]

1:12 literally my favorite type of drake song 💀

[ericchild]

Why does music have to sound new or different, this album wasn’t new, but it was fun and had stuff you can listen to

[LuisG]

Huge Drake fan but I couldn’t finish the album this time, he needa get Quentin Miller to write him another album or Party next door or The Weeknd
