Drake dishes on new album’s lead single

After releasing new songs Marvin’s Room and Dreams Money Can Buy via his blog, rap sensation Drake has revealed that the lead single for sophomore LP Take Care will be called Headlines.

Produced by longtime Drake producers and collaborators Matthew Samuels and Noah Shebib, Drake confirmed the single’s title with a short tweet last Thursday (July 21) that simply read, “Headlines.”

The anticipated announcement of the single comes amidst much speculation – however, the 24-year-old artist and actor expressed disdain of single tracks to Rolling Stone: "I hate singles… With this album, I want to tell a whole story. I don’t want people to just hear a piece and judge the album on that."

Drake also confirmed Shot for Me, Free Spirit and The Real Her as three more tracks to appear on the new album. Free Spirit and The Real Her feature Rick Ross and Lil Wayne respectively.

Drake has reportedly collaborated with a motley crew of musicians on Take Care, including indie rockers Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, Abel Tesfaye of the Weeknd, and acclaimed hip-hop producer DJ Premier.
