Drake is back with his first solo album since 2023’s For All the Dogs… and his second, and his third. After months of teasing a new LP, Iceman, he revealed on a live stream that he had two more albums dropping last night, Habibti and Maid of Honour. All three arrived on schedule. He has also been hard at work shooting a string of music videos: During the show, he premiered several shorts that are largely set in his Toronto hometown, which trickled onto his YouTube page overnight. There are no less than seven new Drake videos below, and stay tuned for more. An eighth, for “Dust,” also premiered last night, starring a grown-up Adonis Graham joy-riding a cop car with Shane Gillis in the backseat. Scroll down to see a rip of that one.
The videos slot into the lineage of vaguely ambient visuals that have lately become Drake’s bread and butter. The most plot-oriented is, conveniently, “Plot Twist,” in which Drake chills at a heavily armed villa, goes racing around a ranch in an off-roader, hits a strip club, and strolls into the sunset holding a giant gun. The short for “Janice STFU”—a song that seemingly interpolates Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers”—alternates between opulent restaurant scenes and a garage of vintage luxury cars; “Little Birdie” features a dance sequence by a fully clothed man vamping for the staff of a strip club; and “Burning Bridges” appears to be an excuse for Drake and a few dozen pals to throw a massive, chandelier-lit party. “Slap the City,” “National Treasures,” and “Make Them Remember” also got visuals.
