With “Too Good” comes the characteristically silky collaboration with Rihanna, the encounter smouldering rather than blistering with sexual tension, frissoned with the neat line “I got as high as your expectations”. “Pop Style” gets heavy but not with the impact you’d hope for but, hey, it’s a long album. “Grammys” featuring Future is not particularly challenging but fun and is sure to be a summer, top down choon, whilst “Child’s Play” features probably the realest lyric in the album for warring lovers - “Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake? You know I love to go there.” Real. Something, as it’s still not “Know Yourself” huge, but a serious beat and sinister overtones gear you up for the Caribbean segment in "Controlla", which features the very Canadian Drake with his best Patois to accompany Beenie Man’s highly enthusiastic contribution, before going all out with the rumba hips in the really quite sexy “One Dance”. Things get even Drake-ier in the albums mellowest movement (and that’s saying something) with “Redemption”, “With You” and “Faithful”, before picking up Views’ biggest guns in “Still Here” which is, oddly, something of a banger.
