<p>Drake explains what’s behind the debut single saying </p>
<blockquote><p>“There’s a buzz in this world. There’s a distraction and a constant noise. ‘The Simple Life’ is about getting away from that and knowing what is important to you&#8212;family, friends, God, whatever and really feeling that you don’t have to be going 90 million miles an hour all the time. You can slow down, live simply and when you let the loose ends drag, they say the stress levels go down, the health goes up. When you’re healthy and stress free, that’s a good life. That’s the simple life.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The Alabama native describes his sound as “country rockin’ freestyle blues” with influences by <strong>Ray Charles</strong>, <strong>Merle Haggard,</strong> <strong>Bob Dylan</strong> and <strong><a title="Willie Nelson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSWNelson/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fwillie-nelson-tickets%2F">Willie Nelson</a></strong>, whom Drake toured with on the <strong>Country Throwdown</strong> tour.
