Drake has signed R&B singer Naomi Sharon to his label OVO Sound, making Sharon the first female artist he has signed. Drizzy announced the signing on Thursday night, referring to Sharon as his βdear friend.β
βI been waiting for this day for too long now where the world finally gets to digest the insane amount of work you have put in since we met,β he wrote on Instagram, tagging Sharon. βMy dear friend just dropped her single Another Life on OVO SOUND.β
βWords cannot express how happy I am I can finally share this news with the world. And I cannot thank you enough for this insane opportunity,β Sharon gushed in her post.
In tandem with the announcement of Sharon becoming a member of the label, the Caribbean and Dutch singer shared two new singles, each of which feature production from Drakeβs frequent collaborator and OVO Sound co-founder, Noah β40β Shebib.
βAnother Lifeβ is a slow-burning lovesick song set to a pulsating dance beat. Sharon switches it up on the second track, the comparably lighter entitled βCelestial.β True its name, βCelestialβ is an ethereal, floaty record, where Sharonβs mushy vocals are backed by the sounds of the forest.
