Drake released a statement on his blog earlier in regards to his album being pushed back to November 15th and I, for one, could not be more disappointed.
October 24th was right around the corner and it sucks that sample clearances are holding things up, but here's to hoping that Take Care doesn't have any more issues before its new release date and that, in the meantime, Drake can at least get a better album set up.
Truth be told, Take Care would've been released to little to no fanfare had it stayed at its original release date and an album of all kinds of importance for Drake should have more buzz around it then it currently does. Then again, Tha Carter IV didn't have much hype around it and that only did close to a million copies...I'm not saying Drake doesn't have the same kind of pull when it comes to selling records, I'm just saying that whether you like him or not, his music speaks for itself and this album just has a certain feel to it that would suggest that it will be something worth listening to...
The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week...see you all soon.
