Drake insists his new single 'Hold On, We're Going
Home' isn't a "rap record", instead he is hoping it will be played at
weddings for a decade or more.
Drake insists his new single is a "wedding record" rather than a rap song.
The
26-year-old rapper is hoping his new track 'Hold On, We're Going Home',
which features on his upcoming album 'Nothing was the Same', will be
played at nuptials for the next 10 decades and more because it has a
"timeless melody".
Speaking to MTV News, he said: "It's not a rap record. It's not 'Versace,' it's not [previous single] 'Started From the Bottom.'
"In
approaching this album I was like man, it would be great if we had a
record that was played at weddings in 10 years or that people that are
away from their families in the army could listen to.
"Something
that just [has] timeless writing, timeless melody. So I did it with the
group that we signed to OVO called Majid Jordan."
The rapper
worked with producer Noah '40' Shebib on the song, and admits the pair
were going for a Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson-style production.
He added: "It's me and 40 just channelling our Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson production duo.
"Obviously
no offense to the greats, I know we're not anywhere near that - it's
just us kinda doing our thing, humbly attempting."
