Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone music now. So Drake and Beyonce have been known to change the face of music a time or two, but they've never done it before simultaneously in the same week.

They both have new projects out that are huge changes of pace and they're both influenced

by 90s house music.

Drake's surprise released the album, Honestly,

Never Mind.

Beyonce dropped the song, Break My Soul,

and they have a lot of similarities

that were released within a couple days of each other.

So we're gonna dive into that, this episode. I'm going to start

by talking to Jeffy Hazah about Drake. Then I'm going to talk to Monkapur-Kante about Beyonce. And as a bonus, we had another

legend Paul McCartney, turned 80 and play a huge concert in New Jersey while he was at it.

So to talk about Paul at 80 I'll have Rob Sheffield. But to start out here's me and Jeff on the new Drake

So Drake released honestly honestly, never mind, announced it and

released it within the span of a few hours as you put it in your review, Jeff. And I

love watching the response to an album like this as much as I love forming my own response to an album like this as much as I love

forming my own response and I think possibly because in part because it's it's a

radical change it really is a dance album,

and I think because the first track falling back

is in my opinion not one of the best.

Finding myself, showing myself,

finding a way to stay out of the way

holding me.
