Album DescriptionViews is the fourth studio album by Canadian rapper and singer Drake.

By that measure, Places can be considered a success. The album seems like an extended suite of empowerment. The songs all march to a stately midtempo beat and rely on melodies designed to showcase the full range of Michele's vocal prowess. Every one of these tracks is given a high-gloss production, constructed out of sheets of synthesizers, pianos, and overdubbed vocals - all signifying grand power. Where that 2014 album found Michele working hard to appeal to the pop mainstream, Places is a measured collection of mature pop that falls halfway between Broadway showstoppers and inspirational Katy Perry numbers. Places is the first major musical project from Lea Michele since the end of Glee and it is strikingly different from its predecessor, Louder.
