Song Review

          The artist that is my favorite is Drake, and his album that is my favorite is Thank Me Later. He is a new artist from Canada who is only 23 years old. The review is supposed to be about his new album, “Thank Me Later,” but it is actually more about Drake himself as an artist. Although the critique does talk about some of the songs in the album, it isn’t the main purpose of the review. I agree with the evaluation because it portrays Drake in a positive sense, and really gives good examples of his music, and how he works different artists into his own. He also understands the meaning of Drake’s overall message of how we are alone, and that really speaks to a lot of people. He also says how Drake is a new pop star and is trying to change the pop music industry. I would change some things how Drake is evaluated, and focus more on the lyrics in his songs and not really the other artists that he has in the songs. The critic was a little indecisive with whether or not he was critiquing Drake’s music, lyrics, or the people he has in his music. Overall it was a good Critique of Drake and portrayed him in a positive way. Some other reasons that Drake and this album is my favorite are the beats and the lyrics of his music. All of his songs are relatively slow compared to other rap music, and they actually have meaning to them.
