Drake: "Nokia"
Briefly

Drake's latest collaboration album with PARTYNEXTDOOR explores themes of loneliness and party vibes but culminates in the standout track "Nokia." This track, produced by London’s Elkan, blends Atlanta beats with playful synths, creating an energetic atmosphere ideal for dancing. Drake’s flow and lyrics reflect a desire to celebrate over a mix of nostalgic and modern sounds. The album serves as a fan service, encouraging listeners to let loose and enjoy the moment, making "Nokia" feel like a must-play track, especially during a road trip or social gathering.
In the second half, it gets even weirder: As the beat stutters and slows into a crunchy groove that'd fit snugly on Graduation, Drake breaks into what I can only describe as a Whodini-type flow.
This is Drake asking you to put up your blinders and hit the dancefloor. If you're so willing, you're in for a treat.
