Take Care is the second studio album by Canadian recording artist Drake, released November 15, 2011, on Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. It is the follow-up to his 2010 debut album Thank Me Later. Production for the album took place during 2010 to 2011 and was handled by Noah “40” Shebib, Boi-1da, T-Minus, Just Blaze, The Weeknd, and Jamie xx, among others.
Expanding on the sonic aesthetic of his debut album, Take Care features an
atmospheric sound that is characterized by low-key musical elements and
incorporates R&B, pop, electronica styles. Drake's lyrics mostly eschew
boastful raps for introspective lyrics that deal with subject matter such as
failed romances, relationship with friends and family, growing wealth and fame,
concerns about leading a hollow life, and despondency.
One of the most anticipated music releases in 2011, Take Care experienced
several delays to its release date and subsequently leaked to the Internet nine
days before its scheduled release.
The album has produced two singles, “Headlines” and “Make Me Proud”, both of which attained chart success in the United States and Canada. Upon its release, Take Care received general acclaim from music critics, who praised its expansive production, emotional themes, and Drake's songwriting. (wikipedia)
