Artists Drake and Partynextdoor have released their first albums of 2025 with the project “SSS4U”. The album is similar to their previous works, combining R&B with hip-hop, leaning heavily into late-night R&B. Songs such as “CN Tower” and “Legacy” focus heavily on subjects such as love and heartbreak. Partynextdoor compliments Drake which is helped by their chemistry through past performances in both of their prospective albums. The album does feel one-dimensional in certain aspects as the album doesn’t have as much range as other projects released by either artist.
While the album is clearly flawed in many areas, it has an amazing ability to set the mood through songs like “Nokia”. These songs give the album much-needed energy and contrast from the slower tracks. While the album as a whole isn’t groundbreaking, Drake and Partynextdoor’s chemistry allows the album to be more than late night sounds and has an amazing replay ability.
