Drake talks third album, hints at different direction than on 'Take Care'

Last night, we reported on Drake’s conference call with MTV where he revealed upcoming collaborations with his Club Paradise tour mates 2 Chainz and Meek Mill. Now, further parts of the conversation have emerged, containing some updates on his upcoming third album. Drizzy hints at the concept of the long-player, claiming that it will have a different mood versus Take Care. It appears that his relocation from Toronto to Los Angeles will play a major role in setting up the tone for the record.

“I think my mood will be reflected in the tempos I choose for the music. A lot of ‘Take Care,’ it’s down… and I think a lot of it had to do with being back in Toronto, getting reacquainted with the life I had before (fame) and difficulties with that, and at the same time trying to express excitement, express joy…

Now I’m in a very, very, very, very different place than I’ve ever been, really focused on myself, really focused on my health, my body, my mind, really wanting to be the best I can possibly be…I’m in a different mindset now that I’m very proud of… It’s going to be a very interesting album — probably, to be honest with you, conceptually one of the most exciting projects I’ve worked on, just ’cause there’s so many new things going on in my life.

I still live in Toronto and love the city, but there’s just so much going on for me in the U.S. I recently made the move to L.A. There’s a new atmosphere. I’m getting to know new people…Anybody knows that when it’s new, that’s when I thrive. When there’s new things to talk about that’s really when I get off.”
