Since he dropped his breakout tape So Far Gone in 2009, Drake has been consistently going through changes. With each music project, he documents his ever-evolving life, so fans shouldn't expect that to change when he finally releases his third LP. Drizzy didn't want to give too much away, but from the sound of things, it'll be much different from his sophomore effort Take Care.
"I think that my mood will be reflected in the tempos that I choose for the music," Drake said of his next LP during a press conference call Tuesday. "A lot of Take Care, it's down, a lot of it's down and I think a lot of that had to do with being back home in Toronto and getting reacquainted with the life I had before and the difficulties of that, but at the same time trying to express excitement and trying to express joy."
Though he still keeps a place in his native Toronto, Drake has recently moved to L.A. The relocation has already sparked musical ideas for the Young Money star. "There's just so much going on for me in the U.S. that I recently made the move to L.A.," he said. "It's a new atmosphere, getting to know new people. It's going to be a very interesting album."
Drake told MTV News that with Take Care, he was telling a story inspired by his 2009 track "Houstatlantavegas." On the song, Drake created a fictional world, describing a love affair with an ambitious stripper who can't quite get out of the life. "It was a world that was very much real to me, but I created it in my mind. It was a world that, being a kid from Toronto, I used to look at from the outside and I used to be like, 'Man that looks crazy,' " he told us. "All those strip clubs and all those nightclubs and the drinks and the girls and the fame."
Things have evolved in the months since he released Take Care. "Now I'm kind of in a very, very, very, very different place than I've ever been," Drake said. "I think it will be conceptually one of the best projects that I've ever worked on because there's so many new things going on in my life. Everybody knows when it's new, that's when I thrive."
