Drake sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about his sophomore albums features and song titles. His single 'Headlines' is set to release in the next couple weeks. Other track names include "Shot For Me", "Free Spirit", and "The Real Her". Wayne, Ross, and The Weeknd will make the final album and if Drizzy can work it out, there will be a track with Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine. Check out what Rolling Stone said below:
He cues up several tracks in various states of completion, all of which sit squarely in the sparse, somber register that’s become his trademark. “Shot for Me,” the likely album opener, is a marvel of melancholy bravado: He sings “Bitch, I’m the man” in a moan that undercuts the brag, over a beat (courtesy of Shebib) that pairs aching synthesizer notes with an exhilarating barrage of high-hats. Other highlights include “Free Spirit,” featuring Rick Ross and the refrain “Tat my name on you so I know it’s real,” and “The Real Her,” a narcotically woozy love song with detuned pianos and a Lil Wayne guest spot. Drake is also looking forward to collaborating with Abel Tesfaye, a.k.a. buzzy R&B gloomster the Weeknd — and, if he gets his wish, veteran beatsmith DJ Premier, Florence and the Machine’s Florence Welch, and the xx’s Jamie Smith. “No matter who’s on it, it goes through the Drake filter,” Shebib says. “He’s so hands-on about how everything sounds.”
Many rappers tout their effortlessness, but Drake is proudly perfectionist. Several of the verses he's written for the album are still missing their last two bars. "If your writing is strong enough, those lines dictate what the hook is gonna be about, how you're gonna go into the second verse," he says. "You need the exit moment, you know? 'And the crowd goes wild...'"
