For those of you who were looking forward to Drake's upcoming album "Take Care" to drop later this month, bad news... its been pushed back. "Take Care" was set to release on Drake's 25th birthday, October 24h. He wants his fans to hear the album the way he feels they should. The new release date is November 15. Drake released a statement about the date change via his blog. Read his statement below:
"I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week…see you all soon."Last week, while Drake and his crew were putting the finishing touches to his album in New York, his assistant Queen Shmink (aka Cortne) took a couple of photos of Drake in a studio session, with a caption stating "the final weeks before submitting "Take Care."
