Album review: Certified Lover Boy, by Drake 

Solid stuff from the Canadian star, even if it could do with a few more revved-up moments 
Drake, Certified Lover Boy.

Drake, Certified Lover Boy.

The last time Drake performed in Ireland, he was accompanied by a giant inflatable Lamborghini which coasted leisurely over his head and out into the audience. Those sorts of bells and whistles will not be to everyone’s taste. But the rhymer’s agreeable if not quite earth-shattering, new album might have benefitted from a little of that extravagance. 

It is a perfectly solid LP – but one crying out for the occasionally figurative yellow Lamborghini flying by.
