When country music and hip-hop collide, the result usually leans into novelty crossover territory. But on "Solar Eclipse" Drake and Don Toliver take a far more sleek approach. Originally teased in Drake’s FOMO short film before hitting streaming platforms on the "HABIBTI" album project, the track strips down one of the year's biggest country anthems and rebuilds it into a late-night ambient slow-burner."Solar Eclipse" directly interpolates and reworks Ella Langley's smash country hit, "Choosin' Texas" which i m feeling deeply angry about the impact that has on the charts. In few words it doesn't deserve all the chart records it made and continue to break cause after the straight number one for Taylor Swift with "Patient Zero" Ella Langley will return to number one.But charts are what they are nowdays so i focus on what music has to offer besides numbers and records.As for this one rather than sounding like a forced attempt at a country-pop hybrid, "Solar Eclipse" feels like an effortless nocturnal chop-and-screw interpolation. It respects the earworm melody of Langley’s original while pulling it entirely into the OVO orbit.
