Drake album launches in October

Canadian rapper Drake is set to release his second studio album Take Care on October 24, reports Altsounds.com.

The first single, Headlines, has already risen quickly to top of the iTunes sales chart, selling 139,274 copies within days of its release. The song was produced by Noah ‘40’ Shebib, Drake’s longtime collaborator, and quickly became the number one most added song at American media company Urban Radio.

Last June, Drake unveiled a second single, titled Marvin’s Room, with a darker, more subdued rhythm, expressing the atmosphere of a drunken late night. Since its launch, Marvin’s Room was the subject of several remixes by artists such as JoJo and Chris Brown.

Recently, Drake was honored with the Hal David Starlight Award at the 42nd annual Songwriters Hall of Fame gala and will also receive the Allan Slaight Award during Canada’s Walk of Fame Awards this fall.
