Drake – Tell Your Friends (The Weeknd Cover)

Drake Remixes The Weeknd’s ‘Tell Your Friends’ 

 OVO meets XO once again. During Saturday’s episode of OVO Sound Radio on Beats 1, Drake debuted his own remix to The Weeknd’s “Tell Your Friends.” Over the Kanye West production, Drizzy does some reflecting, emoting about a girl who’s evolving and compares her to Jane Birkin (“Your body insane in person, wanna do special things for you, you deserve it”). But while his crew is all boo’d up, Drizzy feels alone

“I don’t even know what I have anymore—evolve,” he sings.

The original song can be found on The Weeknd’s album Beauty Behind the Madness, which is expected to debut at No. 1 on next week’s charts. The “Can’t Feel My Face” singer will close out tonight’s Made in America Festival in Philadelphia.

The lush, slowed down instrumental is perfect for Drake, and indeed, he takes his time in between lines, sometimes singing, sometimes rapping, always on point. The subject matter is typical Drake, watching his girl "E-e-e-volve" from a distance. Honestly, we don't need any singles if he keeps dropping remixes like this.

Expect Drake's version of "Tell Your Friends" to take off in similar fashion to "Hotline Bling." Drake clearly wants to bring OVOXO back to the world, so perhaps The Weeknd will turn this into an official remix.

Check out the lyrics below -- could Drake be rapping about the woman from whose U.S. Open players' box he's currently watching make history?

Quotable Lyrics
Your body insane in person
Wanna do special things for you, you deserve it, but
You too famous to buy you purses, that barely scratches the surface
This time it's different, you give me purpose
