Yesterday, Drake released the artwork for his much-anticipated sophomore album, Take Care, via his blog. The image shows a pensive Drake surrounded by gold finery and paintings.
The Young Money MC also released the following statement with the artwork:

"Feels like it's been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24...I wouldn't miss it for the world.
See you soon.
Drake"

Take Care, featuring the hit single "Marvin's Room," will include cameos from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Stevie Wonder and The Weeknd.
