If you end up digging Take Care better than Thank Me Later, just remember to thank The Weeknd later. According to Drizzy, the one-man wrecking machine known as The Weeknd co-wrote four songs on Take Care.
"He's like a writer, collaborator on four songs on my album which I'm very proud of," he told MTV's Rap Fix. "I usually don't branch out writing-wise working with other people. I usually like to write all my own stuff, but we get it. We try to tap into the same emotions because we're from the same city."
Aside from Weeknd, Drake was also able to secure the elusive Andre 3000 for his sophomore LP. But there's still one act on his wish list: Brit rock goddess Florence Welch. Drake and Florence Welch are good friends but the Florence & the Machine frontwoman says their busy schedules make it difficult to join forces in the studio.
"We haven't actually done any recording together," said Welch, answering in the negative to MTV News. "Whenever I see Drake, we always just end up kind of hanging out, which is equally fun, but no, we haven't done anything together yet." She added: "I think we're both big fans of each other's work," Welch said. "If we would have the time it is something I would definitely like to do, but we're both really busy."
Take Care arrives Nov. 15.
