Drake’s OVO Air Jordan 11 Gets Two New Colorways

Drake has had a working relationship with Nike and Jordan Brand for quite some time now, which has resulted in some pretty fantastic sneakers. The Canadian megastar has had quite a number of sneakers make their way to the market, including pairs of the Air Jordan 10 and even the Air Jordan 8. While some have been released, others have selfishly been kept as PEs for Drake to have to himself. There have been plenty such cases with the Air Jordan 11 and according to @EnglishSole on Instagram, it appears as though two more OVO Air Jordan 11s have made their way to the market.

These colorways were shown off following his 34th birthday and they certainly seem like a nice little gift to himself. As you can see, the first colorway is mostly white with a gum sole, while the other is black with the same aesthetics on the underfoot. As for OVO branding, we get some on the tongue, as well as the patent leather that wraps around the upper. This section features the OVO logo copy and pasted throughout.

Of course, since these are PEs, they will never be making their way to the market, although it’s nice to fantasize sometimes. 

In other Drake related news, the artist has revealed the release timetable for his new album Certified Lover Boy.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Goat

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
