When you heard Drake had song called “Miss Me,” you’d might have thought it was about to be one of those “emo” songs, but this is far from it. (40 is the only credited producer, too-this is back to basics with a bullet.)ĭuring that unfurling verse, he sways through different flows before going totally liquid two-thirds in: “You tip the scale when I weigh my options/West Palm girls are spoiled rotten/Tiffany on you, you know you poppin/I'll kill somebody if they give you problems/Master bedroom where we get it poppin/Just ignore all the skeletons in my closet/I'm a walkin come-up, I'm a bank deposit.” His final line is one of the most poignant of his career: “I’ll never be forgiven.” What the title promises cannot be delivered. The details offered in the lyrics feel lived in-“Your brother brought me through, you saw me”-and Drake is, for once on the album, critical of himself: “Why do I want an independent woman to feel like she needs me? I lost my way.” The song also deploys that tried-and-true, Drake-featuring-Drake structure, with multiple sung verses and a sung hook before a long rapped section. 40 stitches ghostly portions of Ray J's "One Wish" into a beat that sounds like Burial on depressants.
If you were to pare Views into a digestible R&B experience, “Redemption” would be the downbeat heart, the apology and plea, the stubborn rebuttal and melancholy conclusion.
