By Jadyn Steffen–<\/strong> Earlier this week, Drake released his new album, Certified Lover Boy<\/em>. The album contains 21 new songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since the release, social media has been blowing up over whether this album is good or not. Some of Drake\u2019s fans have been saying they aren\u2019t too impressed with many of the new releases and that Drake could have done way better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a better perspective on the new album, a few Morningside students offered their opinions and insights over their experiences while listening to the new songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior football player Jacob Murphy said, \u201cI\u2019ve listened to the album and it was okay. There’s not much to really brag about, but I didn\u2019t think it was terrible either.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, sophomore Ridge Hoffman said, \u201cI\u2019m really just a fan of his old music and not his new stuff, because all music sounds the same now-a-days and it\u2019s harder to really find out the true meaning of this newer type of music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When Murphy was listening to the album, he said the one song that he actually liked was \u201cN 2 Deep ft. Future\u201d and the one song he hated most was \u201cPapi\u2019s Home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridge said, \u201cI really couldn\u2019t even pick one I liked more than the other, because there wasn\u2019t one that really even stood out to me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both students agreed that the album was not their favorite, but for completely different reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a completely other note, junior bowler Caitlin Charity said she liked Certified Lover Boy<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charity said, \u201cI\u2019m so glad Drake came out with a new album! I\u2019ve been a Drake fan since 2010 when he released his album Thank Me Later<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Her favorite song on the album is \u201cTSU.\u201d She said if she had to pick, \u201cFountains\u201d would be her least favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I haven\u2019t listened to the entire album, but one of the most popular songs I have heard about is \u201cWay 2 Sexy.\u201d This song has been trending all over TikTok and I think TikTok is what gave this album so much clout. From the few songs I have heard, I would say that Drake has had way better albums before, but I can\u2019t say that this new album is completely terrible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Based on the opinions I received, I would say a lot of people feel indifferent about Certified Lover Boy<\/em>. It\u2019s not a hate, but most people can’t say they love it either. All in all, each of these perspectives offer totally different outcomes for each of the individuals as listeners and fans, but their opinions also help to offer insight into the different reactions and experiences other listeners are freaking out about all over social media. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
