What you need to know about Drake's new sadboi rave album, 'Honestly, Nevermind'

Drake's been out raving, and this comedown sounds rough.

Just nine months after he released his sixth album, the chart-topping rapper is back with his seventh, "Honestly, Nevermind." While its smeary gothic cover art looks like a Foos Gone Wild meme, this surprise-release 14-track album is an unusual experiment for a genre-hopping superstar. It's almost entirely a front-to-back club record of deep house music, shot through with his typical malaise.

It's the first COVID-era dance album that actually sounds like catching a superflu at a warehouse party. It'll likely be the most divisive album of his career.
