Drake Drops New Single "Search & Rescue" and Teases New Album
Canadian rapper Drake has released his latest single "Search & Rescue," produced by BNYX, which debuted on SiriusXM's Sound 42. The track sees Drake reflecting on his search for love and the qualities he desires in a partner. The song also features a soundbite of Kim Kardashian from the season finale of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," in which she talks about divorcing Kanye West. The song's cover art features a Kim K look-alike.
Drake's new single arrives a week after he teased the controversial track, and it marks his first solo release of the year. The rapper has also hinted that he may drop another album in 2023, adding that making music is his priority.
"I’ve thought about a bunch of things in life, but at this moment in time none of those things are stopping making music for you, so I’ll be here for you for a little bit at least," he told fans during his Apollo show in January. "And I hope I can strike up more emotions for you, maybe this year. I might get bored and make another one, who knows!"
Drake has also announced that he will be hitting the road with rapper 21 Savage on their "It's All a Blur" tour this summer. The North American arena trek will kick off in New Orleans on June 16 and will run through September.
