He isn't ashamed to depend on his vocal chops, a gift he genetically inherited from his funky uncle, Larry Graham, perfectly proven on the seven-minute "Shut It Down" and on the pop-friendly, all-vocal track "Find Your Love." Thankfully, he keeps the music shielded from critical torture. Alicia Keys guests on "Fireworks," a decent song with a striking melodic resemblance to "Unthinkable." Thank Me Later's content isn't all lovey-dovey occasionally parking into lonely and immature life choices with regret ("The Resistance") and teenage-acting ego-tripping. smoldering ("Unforgettable"), Sade sensuality ("Karaoke") and even The-Dream's synth-anchored slow jamming ("Shut It Down"). On his official album release, Drake heavily implores the smooth sexiness of R&B's bedroom magicians with Isley Bros. Drake's highly-anticipated debut, Thank Me Later, comes off the heels of his well-received EP, a bold and intelligent mixtape bearing Kanye West prototypes while dealing with young love and bachelor cadence. With only a year in the public's eye yielded by a blazing hip-hop single ("Best I Ever Had"), Drake still has a lot to prove after becoming the coolest, brightest new kid on the block.
