[MUSIC: Album Review] Drake- Take Care
Album Of The Week: Drake Take Care Universal ****1/2 When he introduced The Weeknd to the world, Drake gave us an indication of the direction his own music was headed in.

[MUSIC: Album Review] Gold Fields
Gold Fields Gold Fields Capitol/ EMI ***1/2 Gold Fields’ single ‘Treehouse’ was the musical equivalent of that stuff that the BFG blew into kids’ rooms that would make them dream happy things – a wistful, halcyon burst of freshness that’s nostalgic and contemporary all at once.
