Interview And New Song After The Jump

Drake said he wasn't upset when he heard that Sade — an artist he had wanted to collaborate with on his upcoming Thank Me Later debut — said she's not into guest-starring on anyone's project.

"I don't think they have contacted me," Sade, 51, told Canada's National Post last month. "I've never collaborated because I've always avoided working outside my safety zone — I can be exactly who I am and can fail or succeed within the moment. I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn't want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver, because I think I wouldn't deliver."


Drake said he might not get with her this time, but maybe on a future album.

"That's great. Her brand is always protected. That's why," Drake said of her comments on the set of his "Over" video last week in California. "Other people's visuals, other people's songs, stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand. It can bring you down as opposed to bring you up. I personally feel we could have done something amazing. But I don't think she really knows who I am, really, my genre of music. I put it out there. It was more of a hopeful thing. It was a very early stage where I was at when I said that I was hoping. One day. Maybe after this album comes out.

"I'm very influenced by her," he added. "She does something that I do. She doesn't do too much with harmonies, and she keeps her vocals very clean. Single vocals. Haunting melodies. I'm influenced by her a lot. One day."
