New Drake songs: Rapper promises ‘whole arsenal’ of tracks after Views gets mixed reviews

'Just because Views came out it doesn’t mean there’s not new music on the way.'

Drake was on an incredible run with Nothing Was The Same, If You're Reading This It's Too Late and What A Time To Be Alive, but there’s no denying he's stumbled ever so slightly with Views, which, while definitely having plenty of high points, sees a rare few misses.

Maybe because of this, maybe just because it’s the nature of the industry these days, Drake has promised we won’t have to wait long for a follow-up however.

During a performance at Ryerson University in Toronto - his hometown which the album is about - at the weekend, he told the crowd: “And I’m gonna tell you like this: just because Views came out it doesn’t mean there’s not new music on the way. So I’ll see you soon. You know what it is.”

This echoes comments he made to Zane Lowe when premiering the album last week, suggesting new material is already in the works for his string of tour dates with Future.

“I got other songs I got this summer,” he said. “By the time I get to the tour, I’m going to have a whole arsenal of songs that don’t even have to do with Views.”

In spite of a fair few mediocre review for Views, sales of the album have been enormous.

iTunes shifted 600,000 on day one, which is huge considering Nothing Was The Same sold 658,000 across its first seven days.
