During a recent interview, Chilly Gonzales opened up about collaborating with Drake. Most notably, he contributed to the Toronto hitmaker’s album Take Care, playing the piano outro on “Marvin’s Room.” He told Aria Nejati that he’s most impressed with Drizzy’s ability to rework ideas to make them better.
“I’ll be at the piano, maybe there’s a beat playing, and he’s just kind of looking for a melody,” Gonzales explained. “Then he’ll find something, and already I’m like, whoa, that’s like a super dope chorus. And then he finds something that’s even less specific, more universal, and all of a sudden what you thought was already a dope hook becomes like a verse.”

“But then he keeps looking, and this happens three or four times,” he continued. “Each time the thing he finds is more anthemic. And each time you have to just recalculate the whole song because, oh, that’s not the chorus anymore. I saw this happen with ‘Marvin’s Room.’ I saw this happen with ‘From Time.’” Drake caught wind of the interview clip and shared it on his Instagram Story last week, showing love to his collaborator in his caption.
“Thank you Gonz,” he wrote. “This guy was my neighbor, and we ended up making incredible pieces together, one of the greatest musicians of all time to me.” Drake isn’t only looking back on his work of the past, however. Recently, he also took to his Instagram Story to tease what’s to come. In two photos, he’s seen recording something in the studio. It’s unclear exactly what he was cooking up, but hopefully, his fans will get to hear it sooner rather than later. What do you think of Drake hitting the studio?
