Drake admits last album was "rushed"

Drake has revealed that his debut album Thank Me Later was a "rushed" record.

The 'Find Your Love' star, who topped the US charts with the LP last summer, said that he intends to spend longer making his new record after label bosses forced him to rush-release his last effort.

"Thank Me Later was a rushed album," he told BBC Radio 1. "I didn’t get to take the time that I wanted to on that record. I rushed a lot of the songs and sonically I didn’t get to sit with the record and say, 'OK, well maybe I should change this verse.'

"Once it was done, it was done. That’s why my new album is called Take Care, because I get to take my time this go-round."

Drake recently confirmed that he has collaborated with Florence and the Machine and The xx on his next record.
