Review by Amy Whiteacre
The album I am reviewing is “Take Care” by Drake. Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986), who records under the mononym Drake, is a Canadian born recording artist, rapper, songwriter and actor. He was born in Toronto, Ontario. His previous albums are ‘So Far Gone’ which was released in 2009, ‘Thank Me Later’ which was released in 2010-11 and then ‘Take Care’.
‘Take Care’ was released on the 15 November 2011 and shot straight to seven on the US ‘Billboard Hot 100’ and number three on the UK R&B charts. It includes the singles “Take Care” featuring Rihanna which went straight to number one on the UK charts, “Marvin’s Room” and “Headlines”. There are eighteen songs in total featured on the album;
In my opinion this is one of Drake’s better albums. He introduces a blur of hip-hop, R&B and dance music in his tracks. This is an album that you need to sit down and really listen to the lyrics to truly appreciate them. I give this album four stars.

2) Shot For Me
