Earlier this year, Drake became the latest victim in a string of hacks that leaked tracks from several artists. One of those happened to be “Can I,†his highly anticipated collaboration with Beyoncé (and their first since “Mine,†off her world-stopping BEYONCÉ), though it was rumored to be unfinished at the time. Finally, Drake debuted the new song in full on his OVO Sound Beats 1 show Saturday, as yet another one-off release.
Truthfully, it doesn’t sound all that different from the leak: The spaced-out track still contains the same choppy, mailed-in vocals from Beyoncé (which fans have suggested may just be a sample from “XO“), and no added verses from Drake, meaning it’s possible that whatever reported intentions he had for the song to appear on Views From the 6 have likely since been abandoned.
