AceShowbiz - Fans who are eager to listen to new music from Drake can now get an unofficial taste of his upcoming album. More than a week after he announced his new album is on the way, possible tracks from the LP titled "For All the Dogs" as well his other songs leaked online.
Among the songs hitting the web are "Tried Our Best" and "I'm the Problem", which are said to be included in the upcoming album. Other songs included "416" (feat. Big Sean), "Yves Slatt Laurent", "Calling My Name" (Original Version), "Lose You" (Demo 1) and "Lose You" (Demo 2), though neither of them has been confirmed as authentic Drake songs.
Drake surprised fans by announcing on Saturday, June 24 that he is releasing a new album to accompany his first poetry book. "Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness", a collection of lyrics, poems and one-liners, was written by the Canadian superstar with his friend and songwriting collaborator Samir.
"I don't know if I have ever wanted people to buy or support something more in my life...our first book is available tmrw on @drakerelated and other select retailers," he posted on Instagram on Friday to promote the all-blue poetry book.
Just hours later, he teased his next musical project. "I made an album to go with the book," the 36-year-old wrote. "They say they miss the old Drake girl don't tempt me. FOR ALL THE DOGS."
The "In My Feelings" hitmaker also posted a video of himself wearing a sweatshirt that featured the same dogs used in his ad to promote his new poetry book. In the clip, he can be heard singing along to Kanye West's "College Dropout" single "Through the Wire" in a bathroom while dancing and flexing his watch.
Drake is currently gearing up to kick off his joint tour with 21 Savage. "It's All a Blur Tour" was initially scheduled to start on June 29, in Memphis, but it has been postponed. It will now kick off on July 5 in Chicago. The Memphis show will now take place on August 6, while a July 1 show in Columbus, Ohio, has been rescheduled for October 9.
Drake's representative at OVO Sound has explained that the delay was due to singer H.E.R.'s official DJ and the tour DJ, DJ Prince, having health complications with cancer.
