This is due to his different mindset and his recent move to Los Angeles, California. He told ''GQ'', "This is my fucking moment to say if I wanted to rap all the time, really rap, I would, but I also love to make music. I'll do this for you right now. But it's for me, too. It's my story…I'm trying to get back to that kid in the basement. To say what he has to say. And I'm trying to make it last."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drake Talks Chris Brown, Sex and 'Nothing Was the Same' with ''GQ'' )〕 On February 10, 2013, the same night Drake won a Grammy for Best Rap Album at the 55th Grammy Awards, he announced the title of his third album would be ''Nothing Was the Same''. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, Drake told E!, "I think music, it's a process we all go through," he said. "It's an evolution. You're constantly figuring out what works for you."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drake Announces Title Of Third Album )〕 He explained the difference between ''Nothing Was the Same'' and ''Take Care'' to ''XXL'' saying, "''Take Care'' was about connecting with my city and connecting with my past and sort of still feeling guilty that I'm not in love with one of these girls that cared about me from back in the day. Now, I'm 26, I'm with my friends, I'm making jobs for people, I'm making memories for people that will last a lifetime. I don't need to be in love right now. I don't need these things that I maybe once thought that I needed to feel normal and feel righteous about myself. I think for the first time in an album I'm content—not satisfied—but proud of where I'm at as a person." Drake also stated that Marvin Gaye's 1978 double album ''Here, My Dear'' had been a big influence on his current musical direction and he had been doing recording in Gaye's old studio "Marvin's Room". He later told MTV, "This album is not some straight rap album, I'll never do a straight rap album. That's not how I came into this and that’s never what I'll do. I make songs for the people." He also spoke of Marvin Gaye again saying, "I have aspirations to be Marvin Gaye in the back of my head. So I just want to sing the world's triumphs and problems on one record."〔 In the same interview he explained more about the differences between ''Nothing Was the Same'' and ''Take Care'' saying; "The music I'm making is more concise, more clear, I've been able to get my thoughts across a lot better on this album. Take Care is a great album but I listened to it and realized where I could do better and I think I've done better on this album." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nothing Was the Same」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
