New Song: Drake – ‘Headlines’

Published: Sunday 31st Jul 2011 by Sam

Hip-Hop heavyweight Drake looks set to generate plenty a headline with his aptly titled new single…‘Headlines’. Produced by Boi-1da and Noah ’40’ Shebib, the cut serves as the eagerly awaited first single from the Young Money star’s sophomore set ‘Take Care’ (due October 24th).

With all eyes on the Canadian-bred rapper (particularly in light of high-profile releases from Kanye West and Jay-Z), it begs the question: can he live up to the hype?

Take a listen and judge for yourself after the jump…

    This is siiick! what i love about Drake is that even the random tracks he throws out there like Marvins Room, What If I Kissed You and Dreams Money Can Buy could all be huge hits! this is lyrically really strong and well produced not as catchy as the tracks that i’ve mentioned but still a deffo fire joint!

  2. 4FlopStayInYourLaneBiotch July 31, 2011

    I don’t like it as much as I liked Marvin’s Room but it might grow on me if I decide to listen to it again.

  3. nikki July 31, 2011

    I hated Marvin’s Room….I like this a little better….but he’s starting to sing way to much…..

  4. 4FlopStayInYourLaneBiotch July 31, 2011

    @NIKKI someone obviously lied to him and told him that he had a great singing voice lol. I don’t know why he does that.

  5. nikki July 31, 2011

    @4FlopStayInYourLaneBiotch

    Either that or he’s trying not to spend his money on a professional singer…but OMG he just won’t stop

    Drake it’s my soulmate. I love his music. Strong lyrics, come straight from his mind and his heart. He’s the best for me. Marvin’s room, and others song are particulars and I like the way he takes.. Makes different from other rappers.

  7. Katrina Carter July 31, 2011

    I’m so tired of hearing his voice. Can someone say #OVEREXPOSED?

  8. theman July 31, 2011

    It’s good, but his songs sound to similar. You can definitely see that Weezy has influenced him.

  9. mark ginnis July 31, 2011

    The track isnt anything special . i don’t get it.

  10. Hhhhh July 31, 2011

    Sounds like Over to me.’

  11. 4FlopStayInYourLaneBiotch July 31, 2011

    @NIKKI that would make him cheap as hell lol but it might be the case. I mean certainly he hears himself when they play it back to him. That’s why I think it just may be a case of people in his team building up his ego a bit too much.

  12. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 31, 2011

    Seriously???Where is the rapping part in the whole song???This is just (bad) singing to me.The lyrics are nothing special either (another rapper talking about himself and his money, wow)and the beat is pretty poor too.I own his debut and it’s a good album, but I liked nothing from what he’s brought out ever since.

  13. Robier July 31, 2011

    I’m sick of his Sprechstimme (Talk singing)

  14. Is it worth it….. July 31, 2011

    Damn it. I don’t like it. I don’t have a problem when he sings because I loved Find Your Love but I like when he goes hard with the rapping. The chorus is catchy but that doesn’t do anything for me. I tuned out……

    He has jacked BIG SEANS flow so much….

    He is whack…. The hype has officially died in my opinion.

    Well we all have our ‘day’ and then its on to the next one 😉

  17. CURLY SUE July 31, 2011

    ITS OK. MOST OF HIS MUSIC TENDS TO HAVE THE SAME MELODY AND SIMILAR BEATS…

  18. KAT DELUNA FAN July 31, 2011

    The song is just plain boring

    Same Ole same ole but Young Money and Lil wayne got the radios on lock so
    cough-payola-cough

  19. Kisses July 31, 2011

    He has always been hype to me. I haven’t like anything from him since his “So Far Gone” mixtape….

  20. babi July 31, 2011

    Yessssssssssssss go Drizzy can’t wait 4 Take Care

  21. HaYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY July 31, 2011

    never was a huge drake but i always liked him and i like this a lot
    i agree that he needs to stop singing so much, but its a good first single
    and im not judging the album by this cause over wasnt like the rest of the album for the most part either!

  22. KingBreezy July 31, 2011

    OMG what does he think? that this is a hit?. i’m done

  23. YESSSS BOOOO July 31, 2011

    THEY KNOW THEY KNOW THEY KNOW!!!!

  24. BeBeJuJu July 31, 2011

    I like it, BUT, dude’s music sounds the same! It’s hard to tell one song from the other, maybe he needs to change his singing style? Still like it though, however I prefer marvins room more coz it’s so different from typical drake, and this while good, is still typical drake!

  25. YeaBey DON’T CURR IF THEY TALKIN 2MORROW July 31, 2011

    @BEBEJUJU
    I AGREE!!!
    ________________________________________________________________
    I don’t know why he never made “Marvin’s Room” the first single…Everybody loved that…He waited too late to release it on iTunes when everybody done downloaded that song for free…smh…A MESS….I like this song though and I’m sure when the radio plays the hell out of it , it will eventually grow more on me

  26. Dennis July 31, 2011

    See, Drake cannot sing! At least Kanye abandoned it after one album and his stuff was way better than Drakes. Marvin’s room is better sung by everyone else than Drake because he cannot sing.
    I’m liking the beat of this song but the nasal auto tuned voice is putting me off. Drake = overexposed its tie for the Frank Oceans to take over.

  27. YeaBey DON’T CURR IF THEY TALKIN 2MORROW July 31, 2011

    @DENNIS
    I agree about Frank Ocean needs to put a Hot single out soon!!!

  28. Trail July 31, 2011

    Its ok..typical drake though. He needs to switch up a bit, all his songs are starting to sound alike. Its kool

  29. NICK July 31, 2011

    I liked it, nuthin AMAZING, but nice…

  30. Christian Bonara July 31, 2011

    I really love the song, but please go into deep rap.

  31. Jayla July 31, 2011

    U GAYS ARE TOO OVERLY CRITICAL ABOUT EVERYTHING, EVERY POST, THE MAN ISNT CLAIMING TO BE A LUTHER VANDROSS, HE’S JUS MAKING MUSIC FROM WITHIN, AND GUESS WHAT? IT WORKS FOR HIM, AS I RECALL HIS 2 MOST SUCCESSFUL SONGS WAS SINGING, IN ONE WHERE HE SUNG THE WHOLE SONG (FIND YOUR LOVE) ….. SO PLEASE HAVE A SEAT AND LET DRAKE DO HIS THING

  32. nice_gurl July 31, 2011

    The beat is quite relaxing and the lyrics are pretty good. I don’t know if this will make a hit, but it sounds good to me.

  33. seethat July 31, 2011

    I can take Drake on other people’s stuff..but a whole album of him, I’ll pass..gets tiring..he’s not as diverse as Kanye and not risk-taking like Nikki Minaj, yes I said, Nikki took a big risk doing straight up pop and she’ good at it…Drake alone bores me..really

    It’s really very complicated in this busy life to listen news on TV,
    thus I just use world wide web for that reason, and get the latest news.

    What i don’t realize is actually how you’re
    not really a lot more neatly-preferred than you may be now.
    You’re very intelligent. You realize thus considerably in relation to this topic, made me in my view
    imagine it from so many various angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be interested
    until it’s something to accomplish with Woman gaga!
    Your individual stuffs outstanding. All the time care for it up!
