Drake expands FOMO project with standalone music videos
Overview
Following the September 15 premiere of his one-hour surrealist film ‘Fear of Missing Out’ (FOMO), Drake has expanded the project through a series of standalone releases on YouTube. After the film was briefly set to private, it was re-uploaded to the platform alongside individual music videos.
In late September, Drake released the track ‘Quebec’ as a standalone single on his official YouTube channel. The song, which was previously previewed in the film, features visuals depicting the artist contemplating a move from Toronto to northern Canada. As of the latest reports, ‘Quebec’ has not appeared on major digital streaming platforms such as Spotify or Apple Music.
Drake has also released several other music videos featuring tracks from his recent studio albums, ‘Iceman’, ‘Maid of Honour’, and ‘Habibti’. From ‘Habibti’, he released visuals for ‘Classic’. From ‘Maid of Honour’, the rollout includes ‘Princess’, ‘Outside Tweaking’ (featuring Stunna Sandy), ‘Hoe Phase’, ‘New Bestie’, ‘True Bestie’ (featuring Iconic Savvy), and ‘Cheetah Print’ (featuring Sexyy Red). Additionally, the video for ‘I’m Spent’ featuring Loe Shimmy and ‘White Bone’ have been made available.
On September 29, Drake announced during a livestream that “enough of them” from the FOMO project will be released on major streaming platforms this Thursday, October 1. While not every track from the film will be included, the upcoming release is expected to feature songs such as ‘Quebec’, a remix of ‘Choosin’ Texas’ with Don Toliver, and ‘Miss My Dawg’ featuring Yeat. This follows a prolific period in May when he released ‘Iceman’, ‘Habibti’, and ‘Maid of Honour’. Drake has also indicated plans for a world tour in 2027.
