The Canadian rapper/singer is making hip-hop interesting again.

Drake’s incomparable style marries canny, streetwise rhymes and stunningly soulful vocal hooks over lush R&B, hip-hop and down-tempo electronica.

Take Care raises the bar from its predecessor Thank Me Later.

The production is more expansive, the rhymes slick and the hooks super memorable.

Single Headlines ticks all the above boxes while Rihanna returns a favour on the upbeat but down-mood title track.

Make Me Proud sees Drizzy trade licks with Nicki Minaj, Crew Love is a ripper with its stabs of synth and stylish make-up and The Real Her with Lil Wayne and Andre 3000 (rapping!) is an amourous highlight.

RATING: ★★★★

IN SHORT: Refined
