One dance redux

 drake drizzy

 

Well.

 

This is a music post.

 

Drake has a new song called One Dance. Nice beat. Kind of fun to listen to. But not a great song.

 

Look.

 

I have written twice about Drake. Once for Take Care <with Rihanna>  and once for Hold On we Are Going Home .

 

I want to like Drake’s music. I tend to like his delivery, I tend to like his voice <when it isn’t filtered thru some production technique> and I tend to like the rhythm & flow of his music.

 

That said.

 

I sometimes find his solo songs slightly tedious. Frankly, he seems at his best when not singing alone … in particular when his voice is tempered by a female voice <his voice and Rihanna’s mesh better than almost any duo out there>.

And to make my point I will use the oft-ridiculed Justin Bieber. Say what you want about the Beebs lack of maturity but the boy has a set of pipes and can sing.

 

He took One Dance and made it the song it should have, and could have, been.

 

Well done Beebs.
