Single? Check. Music video? Check.
This Anthony Mandler-directed music video finds Drake stuck in the middle of a dangerous love triange between a gang leader and his prized possession. The video is consumed by its opening phrase: “the worst thing about crossing a line, is when you know you don’t have…” It was filmed in Kingston, Jamaica.
“Find Your Love” is the second single off Drake’s upcoming album Thank Me Later, due out June 15.

“Find Your Love” is the second single off Drake’s upcoming debut album Thank Me Later, due out June 15. It’s no surprise that Kanye West produced the track. His fingerprints can be found all over it; the heavy melodic beat takes cues from many of West’s hits off 808’s & Heartbreak. Drake shared some kind words about Ye with MTV News:
“Before I ever got the chance to meet him, Kanye West shaped a lot of what I do, as far as music goes. We always, always, always took the time to listen to Kanye’s music and appreciate it beyond. We searched the samples and find out where his inspiration came from, because he has one of the best ears in music, period. He knows how to recognize great music that’s not his. He knows how to utilize great sounds and great music. So before I met him, I had the utmost respect for Kanye West. I’d even go as far as to say he’s the most influential person, as far as a musician, that I’d ever had in my life.”
This single is Drake’s third collab with West. Previously they worked together on “Forever” (along with Lil Wayne & Eminem) and West directed Drake’s first music video for “Best I Ever Had.” Drake just wrapped up the music video for “Find Your Love” in Jamaica, so be on the look out for that.
But for now, take a listen to the track below and download it here. (It looks like the download link was taken down due to bandwith issues. It should be back soon.) Drake straight up sings in this one, about relationships. He calls it “an extremely vulnerable song” and a “huge risk” because “it almost feels like the song should be performed by a woman. I’m just hoping that men really hear the song and they’re honest with themselves. I know a lot of men feel that way.” After a first listen I’m not hooked yet. But then again, I felt the same way with “Over” and now that’s one of my top played songs.

Here’s the music video for “Over”, the first single off Drake’s forthcoming album Thank Me Later. It’s directed by Anthony Mandler. This music video is starkly different from the Kanye West-directed video for “Best I Ever Had”, but that’s not necesssarily a bad thing. No, you won’t find scantily clad, well-endowed women jumping up and down. For most of the video Drake is in a bedroom with chaotic projected images flashing over him and the walls. It’s enough to keep you hooked for four minutes, so check it out. If you like the track, download it here for free. Thank Me Later hits stores June 15.

He’s released mixtapes, been featured on many songs, and dropped a seven-track EP called So Far Gone and Drake still hasn’t “officially” made it to the big leagues yet with a debut album under his belt. Time are a-changin’, and Drake is ready to start his rise to (higher) fame in the music biz. Late last night Drake posted the first single off his debut album Thank Me Later. It’s called “Over” and it’s quite good. It doesn’t compare to the Wayne-Kanye-Eminem featured “Forever” behemoth of a track, but it’s definitely worth a listen (below) and a spot on your playlist (download it for free). There’s more where this came from; Thank Me Later is due out in May.
