After officially signing to OVO Sound in late 2018, dancehall star Popcaan gets a formal initiation with two new Drake features on his recently released FIXTAPE. The standout, “Twist & Turn,” which also features PARTYNEXTDOOR, is easygoing dancehall lite. Produced by dvsn’s nineteen85, the beatmaker behind some of Drake’s most diaspora-evoking songs (“One Dance” and “Madiba Riddim”), the song returns to the wellspring that produced Drake’s most global hit, this time adding the top deejay working to the mix.

It’s Popcaan’s song but Drake leads the trio and establishes their formation. He activates his patois, introduces the hook and bridge, and sings the whole time in the purest tone he can muster. He’s back in “One Dance” mode, wowed by the movement of a woman’s hips; you can almost imagine his eyes getting wide as he sings, “Too many twists and turns, twists and turns, yeah,” like a kid riding a rollercoaster for the first time. Party steps away from his brooding alt-R&B to honor his Jamaican roots, and he and Popcaan sound like kindred spirits as they work in tandem. Both OVO vets perform admirably, but the track pivots on Poppy’s effortless verse. Unlike the brief gyration appreciations that make up the other verses, his taps into shared history: “You used to say, ‘You didn’t know love’/I used to say, ‘You need to grow up.’” This is the kind of sun-kissed, sway-friendly collaboration that would go off in any normal summer.
