Our Pick of the Year: Take Care by Drake

Take Care blurred the line between rap and R&B around subdued production and writing about success, distance and relationships. Headlines, Marvin's Room and the title track made vulnerability part of a major rap album without abandoning direct hooks. Its late-night sound became widely copied during the 2010s.
