The 1980s called and they want their swag back, Aubrey.
Hold On, We're Going Home is off of Drake's new album Nothing Was the Same.
But just because the music video is set in 1985 (before either myself or the artist in question was born) and is a sufficiently cheesy hostage situation mini movie, doesn't mean the song isn't top notch.
Drake embraces his "light-skinned Keith Sweat" with this track - there's no rapping, only singing, backed by an '80s synth beat.
Sure, it doesn't help his reputation as the too-sensitive guy whose girlfriend has to pack tissues for him when they go see a romantic comedy, but it's a song that's getting a lot of spins on my playlist, so he can cry all he wants as long as the music's good.
