Review of Five Leaves Left

I love the instrumental elements on this album, the lush strings in Cello Song, the melancholy strings forming the backdrop of “Day is Done”, and the low hum supporting the wistful “River Man”. Along with Drake’s mellifluous voice, it makes for rich listening indeed. Makes me think of early evening gloom and treetops tossed in autumn storms while sitting inside drinking a warm cup of tea.
