"All Me" is a pseudo "turn-up" song with a pleasant serving of bass that doubles as an introspective, ungrateful, self-exalting "me-fest", as if the title didn't clue you in to begin with. The song features notoriously hot artists 2 Chainz and Big Sean. Drake does his best 2 Chainz impression, Big Sean follows suit, to the point where I thought 2 Chainz was a ventriloquist.
"Hold On..." is a late 80's, early 90's pop R&B influenced Billboard track, dressed in a stunning "synth" sundress with an auto-tune necklace; Michael Jackson would be proud. The song features newcomer to the O.V.O. family, Majid Jordan, who I'm sure will see a spike in "something-searches" in regards to his name.
"All Me" fits the mold of most hip-hop songs released in this era with its catchy hook and solid production. "Hold On..." is an overall well constructed track, besides its unpleasantly abrupt ending, that will somehow figure out a way to work itself into your girlfriends playlist.
Ultimately, I like both of the songs and love "Hold On...". "All Me" is extremely forgettable, as it sounds like Drake, 2 Chainz, and Big Sean were all hanging out by the pool and said "Hey, lets make a song!" "Hold On..." is going to go double, if not triple, platinum, as it reminds me of Drake's strategy with his release of "Take Care".
Drake, once again, becomes malleable, which allows him to shed light on his artistic dualism.
