![]() Both Majid Jordan and dvsn have released their debut albums this year to varying degrees of acclaim, yet they both failed to impact the charts. The other artists that I’ve mentioned have suffered a similar fate, they all fall under the umbrella of this moody, gritty music within a self-contained world influenced by their city. PARTYNEXTDOOR doesn’t really differentiate from Abel Tesfaye, while he’s finding his own success with writing credits for Rihanna’s “Work”, his solo efforts haven’t really set the world on fire. When PARTYNEXTDOOR first appeared, forums and comment sections were littered with ‘He’s a The Weeknd copycat’ and they weren’t necessarily wrong. There is no doubt that OVO Sound have borrowed from the fellow Toronto native, and are attemptively carving out their own lane. Along with his search for talent came the eerily similar wave of The Weeknd’s sound. ![]() After The Weeknd signed for Universal, Drake was left to replicate his success by discovering hot new superstar quality talent. Along with PARTYNEXTDOOR, Majid Jordan and dvsn, he’s tipped to help lead this era of sultry, seedy R&B. If you’re an avid follower of Drake and his label OVO Sound, then I’m sure you’re familiar with Roy Woods.
