Lasers
"Lasers" evokes the visual language of nightlife, the strobing imagery both artists use to set scenes of attraction and excess. Per Wikipedia's credits it is produced by Niko, Scandi and 29 Millions rather than the OVO house team, staying in the album's nocturnal, pulse-driven lane. It reads as one of the more sensory, less narrative cuts — texture over plot — the kind of ambient track that gives an OVO record its connective tissue. Drake Universe keeps this at the theme level with no lyric reproduction.
