May 21, 2026“Habibti” is slow, sensuous and sometimes irresistible.
-
May 18, 2026Habtiti, on the whole, feels like the Drake album we would have gotten a couple of years ago were there no 2024 rap beef. At a tight 11 songs, this album finds Drake in romantic territory, having shed the guarded iciness of Iceman and embracing the R&B loverboy that audiences first came to love him for.
-
May 22, 2026You cannot deny that these records – ‘Iceman’, in particular – are some of Drake’s strongest work in a while. The trilogy doesn’t restore Drake’s invincibility, but beneath the spectacle and the streaming bait is an ageing superstar still stubbornly clinging onto his crown with both fists.
-
May 22, 2026He does better on “Habibti,” which feels like it collects all the weird castoffs of this cycle but ends up being the most interesting to follow.
-
May 29, 2026Habibti, though the most replayable entry of the trilogy, is more about atmosphere than content.
-
May 15, 2026Habibti sound like old ground being half-heartedly retrodden for the sake of it, a plethora of familiar musical and lyrical tropes.
-
May 16, 2026The R&B-steeped Habibti is lost at sea, buoyed only by the predictable, but effective, “WNBA.”
