Untitled

Take Care is the upcoming second studio album by Canadian recording artist Drake, scheduled for release through Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records on November 15, 2011. The album will be released in three versions: the standard edition, a birthday edition and OG Ron C edition.

Background and development

On November 18, 2010, Drake revealed the title of his next studio album would be Take Care. In comparison to his debut album Drake revealed to Y.C Radio 1 that Thank Me Later was a rushed album, stating, "I didn’t get to take the time that I wanted to on that record. I rushed a lot of the songs and sonically I didn’t get to sit with the record and say, 'OK, well maybe I should change this verse.' "Once it was done, it was done. That’s why my new album is called Take Care because I get to take my time this go-round." Drake mentioned after OVO Fest 2011 that Take Care could have up to 18 songs on it, and added that Stevie Wonder contributed to the creative direction of the album and will be featured on the album as well. Drake also revealed that the album is “80 percent done." and was recorded mainly in Toronto. Debating whether to submit his final cut or not, Drake's preferred release date motivated him to create a Birthday Edition, much like a deluxe edition to be released on the iTunes Store.

Some producers that were revealed to be working with Drake on Take Care other than Noah "40" Shebib, who is the main producer of the album, T-Minus, Jamie Smith from The xx, The Neptunes, Q-Tip (It is unclear whether the tracks Q-Tip has produced will be on Take Care), and Boi-1da who is a long-time Drake collaborator. Some artists that are confirmed to be collaborators with Drake on Take Care consist of Florence + the Machine, Andre 3000, Stevie Wonder, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, and Lil Wayne.

Release and promotion

The first track Drake released was "Dreams Money Can Buy" on May 20, 2011 through his October's Very Own blog. Drake mentioned this song was "A Story of Dreams, mixed with reality," and that this was not his first single off the album but that it would be included on Take Care. On June 9, 2011, the second track titled "Marvins Room" was released via his blog. Drake initially stated that the song would not be featured on "Take Care," but because of the song's unexpected success, prompting it was released as a digital and radio single on July 22, 2011 and will be on "Take Care." "Trust Issues" was then released shortly after on his blog, but is confirmed not to be on the album via what Drake said on Twitter. He explained that it was an idea he had from I'm On One and made it "just for fun." On September 10, 2011, Drake released a new song titled "Club Paradise" which has lyrics presented by on his October's Very Own blog. "Dropping this for our boy Avery...this was his favorite sh*t during the recording process. 2 more songs coming tonight as well. ovoxo," he wrote on his blog. On September 11, 2011, Drake released another track entitled "Free Spirit" featuring Rick Ross, and blogged that another was to be released that night, as well. Later that night he released a remix of Waka Flocka Flame's "Round of Applause". On September 23, 2011, Drake released the official album cover to Take Care. The Club Paradise Tour was revealed to start in November on Twitter. However, It was revealed that the tour is delayed until after Christmas/New Year break so Drake could perform at more schools.

On October 8, 2011, Drake announced on his OVO blog that Take Care will be pushed back until November 15th because of three sample clearances. It was originally to be released on his 25th birthday, October 24, 2011.
