would like to apologize unnecessarily: this article is slightly late. Let me make another necessary explanation: This article is actually not late. Old readers all know that several new media affiliated to "Electronic Music Information" owned by limited companies and individual industrial and commercial households (dual commercial entities) were updated daily before Yi Qing (to date, only "Electronic Music Information" (maintaining permanent daily updates) has collected quite a lot of topics, not to mention there are spare manuscripts stored in the background. Therefore, many topics cannot be written on the day they are known.

. Today’s article is the same example. On June 17, 2022, that is, almost half a month ago, Drake made a sensation in the fields of electronic/ dance music, , Hip-Hop/Rap, RB and Pop, etc. Naturally, our author and other staff members also The scope of the impact, not to mention, this wave of big news is also related to the House Music family that we are passionate about.

Who is Drake? The review class has begun again. Drake's real name is Aubrey Drake Graham. He is a singer, rapper and actor. His music career is active in the fields of RB, Pop, Hip-Hop and electronic music. The mid-term works are often related to Trap Beats-driven RB and ambiguous atypical Melodic Rap, and are also studied in dance music fields such as Dancehall.

's own rhythm pattern and the voice of "Drake" Style blur the boundaries between Trap Beats, RB, Pop-Rap, Melodic Rap and various electronic music and dance music elements. is special. The above-mentioned characteristics of a successful businessman, brand spokesperson, and collaborator have given Drake astonishing traffic and controversial topics. As a frequent visitor to the charts, his first six official studio albums were all successful.

What happened on June 17, 2022? "Honestly, Nevermind" is Drake's seventh studio (official, LP) in his music career, which was released by OVO Sound, a subsidiary of Warner Music, and Republic Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, on the three major labels (Major Label). album.
Interestingly, Drake’s action , which has the same name as One Piece try". The reason is that The Weeknd, who has also made great achievements in RB, especially PB RB, is also very electronic, especially showing the elements and charm of House, New Wave, Synthwave and other dance genres. He is an out-and-out "Electronic Beats Singer".

But if you have to say it, the electronic music backbone of "Honestly, Nevermind" and The Weeknd are different. "Honestly, Nevermind" except for the vocals of RB, Pop, and Melodic Rap In addition, the genres or genre elements of traditional Deep House, Baltimore Club, Jersey Club, IDM, genuine Melodic House, Ambient/Electronica, Tribal House, Jazzy House, and TrapBeat are also widely used.
How? Why did Drake transform into a "House Singer" or a "Baltimore Club Singer" (in other styles, the same as above)? Why did 's "Honestly, Nevermind" reach the top of Billboard? The inseparable point of is that House Music veteran masters Black Coffee and Carnage's House Side Project Gordo handled the house foundation of the entire album, contributing to the house characteristics of the entire album.
More than a dozen music producers, including ME, 40, and Alex Lustig, arranged the Baltimore Club and Trap Beats songs in "Honestly, Nevermind." Like you, like me, as everyone knows, the "labor" of a singer or rapper singer can often only determine the vocal style of the music, but the beat or accompaniment is specifically controlled by the producers. , although the singers who hired them still have full decision-making power.
But we can’t ignore that Drake, who got rid of the old Hip-Hop rules in the early days, is very actively applying the endless possibilities of electronic music, whether it is the peak traffic period in the mid-term or the current "House Drake" and "Club Music Drake" Possibly, explore its extremely high ceiling. To put it bluntly, which one of his previous music is not pure Trap Beats? Of course you can say that Hip-Hop and RB are not affiliated with electronic music, but how can you deny that these Beats are children of electronic music?
Trap Beats is essentially electronic music! People can't even find any "half" condition that can deny this fact, Lead, Synth, Bass, Sub-Bass, Kick, Clap, Hi-Hats, Rider (if any), effects, Arp, etc... Trap The existence of Beats is all about electronic sound. And this wave, the causal relationship between "Drake's electronic music backbone" and "Li Kezhong", in fact, from Beats to House, has become obvious from what was never obvious. That would be an understatement.
