Lasers

"Lasers" evokes the visual language of nightlife, the strobing imagery Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR both use to set scenes of attraction and excess. The track is widely read as a mood-driven entry, less a story than a texture, capturing the disorientation and allure of a night out. The 40 and Boi-1da production keeps it in the album's nocturnal lane, atmospheric and pulse-driven. On $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which is structured around intimacy and its complications, "Lasers" reads as one of the more sensory, less narrative cuts, using club imagery to evoke a state of mind rather than to advance a plotline. It is the kind of ambient track that gives an OVO album its connective tissue.
