Additionally, a track titled “Circo Loco” features a sample and vocal interpolation of Daft Punk’s “One More Time. Hours in Silence,” to take one, is built around a much livelier Memphis rap song that sounds as if it’s being replayed underwater; Drake half-croons through his web of gossip and self-mythology, where cryptic comments on exes’ finstas and villains ripped from mob movies weigh equally on his mind. On November 26, 2022, Drake revealed that the album is part of a trilogy of albums following Certified Lover Boy and Honestly, Nevermind.

as performed by Megan Thee Stallion; [57] interpolations of " 24's", [58] written by Clifford Harris Jr. Additionally, Drizzy teamed up with South African house producer Black Coffee, who also serves as an EP. The electronic star followed up a huge 2021, in which he won a GRAMMY for his album Subconsciously, by working with one of the biggest rappers on the planet.According to reports, Drake dissed several prominent celebrities throughout Her Loss, which received widespread media coverage and controversy. The banter entertains because both rappers are genuine fans of each other, but it’s too bad Her Loss chases that high with “BackOutsideBoyz,” a clinic in the album’s flaws: the flows Drake borrows and the commitment to reminding anyone in earshot that he can be powerfully petty by rehashing a years-old tiff with DRAM over “Cha Cha. It is the third part of what Drake described as "a trilogy of albums", following Certified Lover Boy and Honestly, Nevermind. There is a different kind of cheapness at intermittent play: The hammily stupid Daft Punk flip on “Circo Loco” and the O’Jays sample that pops up halfway through “Middle of the Ocean” only to invite unflattering comparisons to AZ and Nas and Dipset.

Circo Loco" contains samples of " One More Time", written by Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and Anthony Moore, as performed by Daft Punk. On October 25, 2023, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over a two million units in the United States. From the comical fake promos during its rollout to the memorable one-liners and aggressive diss verses or the TikTok memes it will generate for months to come, Her Loss has a lot of meat on its bones". Drake recruited his go-to collaborators Noah “40” Shebib, Oliver El-Khatib, and engineer Noel Cadastre as executive producers. Bringing Savage around to talk that talk is a peculiar choice: Yes, 21 has made grimy sex songs like “Fuckin Niggaz Bitches,” but, incrementally, he’s shown greater range on I Am’s “RIP Luv” and “Special” and “FaceTime” off 2017’s Issa Album.Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement and Your California Privacy Rights. On June 17, 2022, Drake released the song " Jimmy Cooks" featuring 21 Savage as the final track of his seventh studio album Honestly, Nevermind. This suits both Drake and 21’s voices: The former’s ecstatic vocals on “Treacherous Twins” alone make Her Loss worth the streaming bandwidth.

Four days after the album's release, Drake and 21 Savage were sued by Condé Nast, the publisher for Vogue, in a Manhattan federal court who alleged their promotional campaign "entirely" relied on the unauthorised use of their trademarks and false representations relating to their business and business relationships. After Drake announced that the “Jimmy Cooks” music video would drop on 21’s 30th birthday, online speculation about a joint album announcement gained momentum. As the album’s title seems to promise, Her Loss is littered with bitter, very online barbs for women who have betrayed Drake and 21, wronged them in other, indeterminate ways, or simply drifted into the digital expanse.

Thompson stated, "There are moments of considered writing and bursts of Drake at or near his mischievous best, but in its middle, the record becomes inert, making the bits of self-conscious misanthropy scan as strained rather than gleeful, as if the id could be focus-grouped". Rich Flex" contains samples of the score of Invasion of the Bee Girls, composed by Charles Bernstein; as well as samples of "I Want You, Girl", written by Gladys Hayes and performed by Sugar; interpolations of " Savage", written by Megan Pete, Anthony White, and Bobby Session Jr. Hours in Silence" contains samples of "Talk Ya Ass Off Part 2", written by Paul Beauregard, as performed by DJ Paul, Juicy J, and Kingpin Skinny Pimp. I’m worldwidе, and this is just another cargo jet flow I had to let go” — which is … interesting when you know that “Way 2 Sexy” charted higher than “Sticky” pretty much everywhere on the planet. You could argue that attitudes have shifted thanks to a wave of music-industry players such as Ye and Drake, whose singles from the aughts opened doors by waving off hypermasculine tropes and exploring romance in greater subtlety and earnestness.
