Oh, Drake. In perhaps the least surprising “surprise” of the year, the Canadian star has dropped not one but three albums, spanning an eye-watering total of 43 songs (around 142 minutes and 14 seconds).
He just can’t help himself. For years now, one of the biggest of Drake’s myriad issues has been his inability to self-edit. Bloat plagued 2018’s Scorpion and 2023’s For All the Dogs, both of which contained no fewer than 23 songs. It didn’t help that the material was severely lacking, too. And now we have not just Iceman – promoted via silly immersive stunts like a giant block of ice dumped in the centre of Toronto – but also Maid of Honour and Habibti.
