Drake - Marvin’s Room
Artist: Drake
Producer: Noah "40" Shebib
Album: Unreleased
Label: YMCMB/Universal Motown
Despite being a one-off release unattached to any project, unreleased joint Dreams Money Can Buy made an explosive impact when Drake dropped it back in late May. Thus, it should surprise absolutely no one that the first leak off the Young Money megastar’s sophomore LP has set the net on fire—literally. OK, not literally literally (If there’s smoke pouring from your PC, the problem’s on your end), but I’m just sayin’: Marvin’s Room is a Big Deal. Similar in theme to the aforementioned joint, this moody selection finds Drizzy parlaying the ennui that’s plagued him ever since he got his first taste of success into some serious soul-searching. Over Noah “40” Shebib‘s hazy, pulsing synth backdrop, complete with a disarmingly pretty keyboard outro, Drake puts his careless conduct with females under the microscope, admitting, “I don’t think I’m conscious of makin’ monsters out of the women I sponsor till it all goes bad.” Heavy subject matter, to be sure, but if there’s one man who can make guilty self-reflection sound seductive, Audrey Graham is he. Take Care is currently scheduled for release October 24, and fans can expect a lead single to drop sometime in July.

Sounds very similar to most of his work of this kind. Drake tends to keep his formula the same and that formula equals success. Keep being Drizzy Drake.

Such a high rating yes it is. But I give the rating not for the song but for the feel I'm getting. Dreams That Money Can Buy showed the same feel. The whole "Drake's making a sequel to So Far Gone" feel. And for that I'm excited. This album should be very raw and experimental and I honestly can't wait.

I completly agree with nco530. The reason I have to give the track such a high rating is because of the feel that it captures. Drake is great for coming out with songs that give you an almost a nostalgic feel. Can't wait for Take Care.

Hey, why's Drake playing the role of the jealous ex-boyfriend on here? I mean, this track's aight I guess but I was expecting more especially since it's nearly 6 minutes long. Sounds more like an album filler than the first official leak to his sophomore set. Oh well, people will eat it up anyway 'cause it's Drizzy. Who knows? It might grow on me. 3/5

Can I be totally honest? (Of course I can, but I thought that was a change of pace way to start off my feedback). This is a little too sleepy for me. The song is quality, but it didn't move me. Regardless, like everyone else, I am looking forward to his July single release.

Drake can keep the same formula and it's fine, but when The-Dream keeps the same formula he gets hate. But I digress...
This is beautiful though. |

I really hope Drake can look after this style because he can produce some of the most moving and emotional music in the game. This one doesn't grab me as some of his previous tracks have, but is still gonna get a lot of love all-round.

Decent song, but I've come to expect a lot better from Drake.
Did anyone else catch the (melodic) nod to Chris Brown's "No Bullsh*t" at the beginning of the chorus? |

While other artists have to be on a nice beat to make a hit, Drake shows you he can make hits with decent production. I like 40's beats but you could put Drizzy on anything these days and he'll kill it! You can tell he's been working on his singing game too. #LivingLegend

i can honestly say i'm a big drake fan and has been since the comeback mixtape i took time to read some of the other opinions regarding this track and i have to admit this is drake, he make songz that's melodic and he makes songz that's up tempo (again i've been a fan since the comeback) so yes i heard this style before but if its working for you why change it? keep doing you drizzy!

He makes it so easy when he does what he does on records. i like the emotional feel of this song. i could listen to this song all day. i don't know why everyone hatin on drake cuz he's singing and rapping. Chris Brown raps and so does Trey Songz but people like them. You should all know that if you can rap and sing at the same time you can do both. Who says you can't because it's boring to others

This type of song is what I've come to expect of Drake. The low-pass knocking beat, the moody sybths and of course the singing. Although this formula usually works, "Marvins Room" just isn't doing it for me. I'm getting a bit tired of the same old from Drake and his singing voice really hasn't gotten any better. Still I'm anticipating Take Care which drops on my bday :)
