Views — Album Review

The album places Toronto at the center of its imagery and mood, with “Weston Road Flows” supplying a vivid local perspective. “One Dance” and “Controlla” push toward Caribbean-inflected pop, while “Feel No Ways” highlights Drake’s melodic instincts.

The variety is appealing, but the extensive tracklist sometimes dilutes the album’s momentum. Its strongest songs nevertheless capture the ambition of a rapper trying to make his hometown sound global.

Louilink rating: Awaiting editor score.
