En Stereogum han aprovechado la reviu de Drake para hablar sobre Break My Soul.
Drake released Honestly, Nevermind on the same day that Beyoncé, one of his few peers in the global-titan pop sphere, announced her own forthcoming comeback album. And there’s something beautiful about how Honestly, Nevermind only got a few days to exist before Beyoncé dropped the single “Break My Soul,” which just Vince Carter elbow-in-the-rim dunks on everything that Drake was attempting with his record. Beyoncé didn’t even work with house producers on “Break My Soul”; she and her regular collaborators The-Dream and Tricky Stewart just flipped a sample of the Robin S classic “Show Me Love.”
But Beyoncé’s one song embodies the larger-than-life power of this stuff better than anything that Drake even attempted. If you’re going to make this music, then you need to be ready to soundtrack the biggest moment of someone’s week, the point where they’ve left earthly stresses behind and found a whole new life-changing physical communal euphoria. If you’re not even going to try that, then maybe stick to rapping.
