For months, the former Degrassi: The Next Generation star had the world believing his new album would be titled, Views From the 6.
Universal Music Canada sent out an email to media on Wednesday stating the name change.
“Just to clarify, the new Drake record is officially entitled Views — no longer Views from the 6.”
Drake followed up the statement by releasing the track list for the album with the title, Views, at the top.
The album includes “One Dance,” “Pop Style” featuring Jay Z and Kanye West, and “Hotline Bling” as a bonus track. Previously leaked tracks, “Controlla” and “Faithful” are also included on the album.
