Can’t possibly start this article out as Executive Editor without highlighting the sheer ecstatic it was to see my biological sister’s twin from another mother in Drake’s music video LOL. Drake just know that even just the gesture made my sister the happiest woman in the world thank you!

 

Recall when Drake guaranteed that his 6th studio collection would show up at some point this late late spring? Indeed, the official finish of summer is just around the corner, and we haven't heard anything about a delivery date. Fortunately, Drake reappeared on Friday with some news.

 

The collection will be called Certified Lover Boy, and it will incorporate a Lil Durk-helped melody called "Laugh Now Cry Later."  The new single came bundled with a Dave Meyers-coordinated music video that was taken shots at Nike's home office in Oregon and highlights appearances from competitors like Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr., and Marshawn Lynch. Delving into the credits, we get familiar with the melody was created via Cardo, GRy, Yung Exclusive, and Rogét Chahayed.

 

How could he do? Will this become as effective as past Drake singles like "God's Plan" and "One Dance"? Or then again is it a slip up? We set up a short rundown of our early introductions and takeaways, which you can discover underneath.

 

For around five minutes after it dropped, "Laugh Now Cry Later" was without setting. All we needed to go on was a music video brimming with Nike swooshes and the melody itself. So from the start, it seemed like another warmup to hold us over until it's the ideal opportunity for the collection. Perhaps Drake liquidated a pleasant shoe check and utilized the chance to flex on a laid-back tune with Lil Durk?

 

At that point his Instagram post went live: "'Laugh Now Cry Later' off my next studio collection CERTIFIED LOVER BOY." Oh. It's a solitary from the collection. In this unique circumstance, the tune runs over somewhat better. Not at all like all that we heard on Dark Lane Demo Tapes, this isn't reward material. "Laugh Now Cry Later" is the genuine article, so for what reason doesn't it sound as large and energizing as a portion of Drake's past pre-collection singles, as "Started From the Bottom" or "One Dance"?

 

"Laugh Now Cry Later" isn't a by-the-numbers pop radio play or a hard-hitting club record. It's a smooth tune with Lil Durk that quietly works its way to a gentle end. It's a vibe, however not an undeniable hit record. It'll without a doubt advance on the entirety of our playlists, however it absolutely doesn't feel like the sort of hazardous lead single that would stand apart on Drake's resume 10 years from now. Who knows, however. Drake may know precisely what he's doing. Possibly he's been up in Toronto, leading elaborate center gatherings, and made sense of this is really the ideal single to deliver as America slithers out of a pandemic and a large portion of us can't go out around evening time at any rate.
