Full of trap-soul beats teasing romantic escapades, Borkowski calls it a “calculated retreat into the familiar, comfortable territory” of the more sensitive “certified lover boy” persona that dominated Drake’s initial breakthrough albums like Thank Me Later and 2011’s Take Care.”His reputation might be in tatters within certain circles, but commercially, he remains bulletproof,” says Borkowski.The camouflage from his status as a commercial chameleon means that “despite the clear L and Not Like Us becoming a defining moment in rap history, Drake keeps moving”, says Borkowski.Regardless, Borkowski is clear on the strategy – Gimme A Hug, like the album, isn’t a…
