Drake broke the internet this week by unveiling the May 15 release of three new albums: Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour. The triple project release shocked fans, many of whom are wondering why Drake would release three back-to-back albums in the first place.
Below, News47.us breaks down Drake’s triple-album release.
All three of Drake’s new albums — Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour — are now available on major streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music.
The projects feature appearances from artists including Future, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red, Central Cee, Popcaan, PARTYNEXTDOOR and more.
Drake has not explained the reason why he released three albums simultaneously, but fans speculated that the move was to showcase the different sides of his artistry. Some also believe the triple release was Drake’s way of reclaiming the spotlight.
Iceman appears to represent Drake’s colder persona, with darker production and competitive lyrics. The album’s artwork, featuring a sparkling, sequined glove that is reminiscent of Michael Jackson, also ignited theories about Drake envisioning himself as a larger-than-life music icon.
