Sinead OвЂ™Brien Time Bend And Break The Bower Olsen leans country on Big Time, moving between lush slide guitars and piano ballads, singing of grief with a gentleness that exudes as much gratefulness as it does melancholyДЄ half-in, half-out approach leaves the wobbly-voiced warbler stuck at a fork in the road

Scattered across Scorpion are the ruins of what it aspires to be The Canadian superstarвЂ™s new double album ranges from electrifying rap to maundering R&B Self-indulgent, largely evasive, and frankly boring when the beat is not quite strong enough to steady the ship Ultimately, this is another entry in the long list of double albums that could have been singles

SCORPION DRAKE SONG RATING PLUS

There are good tracks here, about 35 minutesвЂ™ worth, and the plus side of streaming is itвЂ™s easier to isolate the songs you like Scorpion will be more remembered as a landmark in the rapidly shifting sands of music media and production, than for anything it says about Drake himselfД®xpecting consistency from an album like this is a mugвЂ™s game.
