Six years that Paris was waiting for his return. This Sunday night, Drake (finally) found his French audience for the first of his two concerts with closed counter at Accor Arena, as part of the European part of his sexy shows 4 or Tour, shared with Partynextdoor.
The room full of people has been redesigned for the occasion: no central scene or classic advance, but a circular and transparent scene that surrounds the complete sand and surrounds the well, immersing the public in the heart of the show.
For more than two hours, the Canadian rapper delivered an intense show, condensed by his greatest successes, from his beginnings to his most recent successes. A performance that reminded everyone that, despite his recent rivalry with Kendrick Lamar and the mixed successes of his latest projects, Drake remains an essential figure in rap.
Nostalgia and giant party
Fun in the middle of the public a little before 10 pm, Drake opened his concert with Marvín RoomOne of his first successes, immediately immersing the crowd in a nostalgic atmosphere. Dressed in a leather jacket of the word “Louvre”, the 38 -year -old artist, only on stage with his microphone for a unique scene, has chained several of his old classics, Headlines, Jungla, meet yourself…
Before continuing, Drake first wanted to apologize to his fans for having taken so long before returning to Paris, remembering that his last concert in the capital had taken place … six years ago, in this same room. Then the essential hymns came – God’s plan, pleasant for what? – Taken with one voice of the more than 20,000 spectators present.
The concert then took a more intimate turn. Installed in the stands with a DJ, Drake turned the Arena Accor into an improvised club atmosphere thanks to its most dance songs – Control, a dance, wait, let’s go home –transforming the room into a real giant party.
Yeat as a surprise guest
Partynextdoor then took possession of the scene. Alone, surrounded by lingerie dancers, the artist delivered several of his solo songs, then joined the stage by Drake. Together, they defended their common album Some sexy songs 4 uwho, when he left, had not completely convinced fans, before concluding with Come see meOne of its former duos, launched in 2016. A softer sequence that offered the public a moment of breathing before the final stretch of the concert.
Because by the end of his Parisian show, Drake had planned to return the Arena Accor. I want girl girl, Rico daddy baby, Knife talk AND Rich flexion He vibrated the room, before the American rapper Yeat appeared as a surprise guest to interpret IDGAF AND Flawless, The highlight of an electric night. The room has again vibrate to the sound of successes Nokia AND Direct line Glowto give way to an emotional conclusion with Yebba Heartbreak.
During this sequence, Drake recalled that he had begun “in Montreal in front of 30 people who do not know their music” to meet today in France against more than 20,000. The artist also took a moment to thank his audience, emphasizing the importance of these concerts in his eyes, and invited each spectator to hug their neighbor or neighbor until the end of the song.
Finally, before leaving the scene, Drake said he was working on his next album and promised his Parisian fans to leave six years to flow before returning in concert in the capital.
