Much has certainly been made of Drake's ability to rap and sing on the same song-- "That's why every song sounds like Drake featuring Drake", remember-- but the truth is, he's at his best when he picks one side or the other. As he continues to knock out teasers for the forthcoming Nothing Was the Same, Drake checks in by going full pop, dropping a disco-y two-step called "Hold On We're Going Home" the morning after his own OVO Fest wrapped up. It's a joint that comes across as a more quickly paced, more assertive take on cuts like Thank Me Later's "Find Your Love" or "Karaoke". "I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly," Drake sings, starry-eyed, charging headfirst into an heavenly breakdown. "Hold On We're Going Home" is pure pillow. Don't be surprised if it smothers the radio.
