“Check the video for “Headlines,” released this past weekend. Wearing all black? Weird classical imagery? Terminally alienated from the world? Baseball? Maybe I’ve been recapping too much True Blood, but all of this says VAMPIRE to me. It’s like Drake is an ancient being living in the shuttered Rainbow Room. He is pioneering a new style I termed ’80s Sitcom Dadpire (grayscale, Coogi Sweater goth with club-master transition lenses). He smokes cigars at dinner and in elevators (BLECH), but how do we actually know they are not just comically large clove cigarettes? He even loiters in a parking lot, just like a real goth.”
