Drake is getting dragged on social media over “Greece,” one of two new DJ Khaled tracks on which he is featured.
Many people believe Drake sounds like his fellow Toronto native The Weeknd on the song, which was released Friday.
“I like Greece by Drake, but song low-key sounds like a demo,” tweeted one. “Bro can we get the official version with The Weeknd?”
Drake’s longtime collaborator, Canadian songwriter and producer Noah “40” Shebib, last month downplayed The Weeknd’s contributions to Drake’s 2011 album Take Care.
“There’s, like, 22 songs on Take Care. He contributed on four of them,” Shebib told Rolling Stone. “There are 18 other songs on there where that guy was nowhere to be found, right?
“So it’s like, ‘Yeah, cool and you contribute to a few records on Take Care. Significant records, sure, but it was a few. It wasn’t a lot.’ It’s a common misconception. I made that whole album. I saw Abel maybe two days. I was in there for like a year.”
The comparisons between Drake’s vocal style on “Greece” and The Weeknd’s have been noted in many creative ways. Here’s a look at a few:
