Hagler’s production genius creates a deep aura around Drake’s silky vocal shoves. If there was a single track off More Life that better shows off Drake’s current musical gravitas, however, it would most certainly unearth Teenage Fever as a primary contender. Kanye drops in on Glow for a super duo collaboration, as the pair showcase their god-like vocal presence rather than letting the focus fall on the minimalist beat chosen for the piece. Gyalchester is a perfect indication of this spiked energy, muddling through crisp drum clicks and a vibratory sub bass-haven of strengthened lengths. The album is described as a playlist by Drake, and this does ring true when considering just how much of it flows from track to track. Sampha joins Drake’s pipes on 4422, a sweet drift through the smoky synth cloud mixtures most notably heard throughout a lot of vaporwave production of late. There’s a heavy respect to Drakes relationship with Britain’s grime culture over the album too, with an interlude by top boy Skepta and a collaboration with the raspy flow of London’s Giggs. More Life pushes the envelope in terms of hazy beat claps, soulful interpretations and feathery textures in the chord choices and Drake’s own trademark vocal stamp. In a booming blow for Drizzy fans, most of whom are still spinning from the release of Views in April of 2016, comes a new shade of Drake on his latest record.
