Drake has already captured the heart of Roc Nation’s Rita Ora in his “Over” video. Now the hip-hop bachelor is falling for a new luscious lady in the video for “Find Your Love,” the second single from his debut album Thank Me Later.
Maliah Michel plays Drizzy’s on-screen love interest in the Anthony Mandler-directed clip, which was shot in Kingston, Jamaica, with dancehall artist Mavado. The video vixen’s previous work includes Busta Rhymes’ “Touch It (Remix),” Fabolous and Ne-Yo’s “Make Me Better,” and Lloyd’s “Get It Shawty.”

I'm undecided. I would have liked him rapping, and this sounds like an old 808's & heartbreak track. Good production though.

This has grown on me. It's nice. But a lot of his fans and others are saying that this sounds like a Pop song. I guess it's more Pop leaning than anything he's released thus far, but I still think this is pretty Urban.

This is the beat that KanYe made for Beyonce's new album, but Drake wrote her a letter asking if he could have it instead.

Yawn! I don't think it's wise for unestablished urban artists to come with lead singles this poppy.

This is really good, and should be a big Pop hit this summer as well.

May 11 2010 5:41 PM EDT 844 Drake Was 'Fearless' In Making 'Find Your Love' Video, Director Says 'It's kind of like the anti-love love story,' Anthony Mandler says.
By Jayson Rodriguez
As both a newcomer and budding superstar, Drake draws a high level of scrutiny toward himself with each new song or video he releases.
That trend continued Tuesday (May 11) with the premiere of his latest clip, "Find Your Love," directed by Anthony Mandler.
"It's unbelievable the amount of attention that he garners," Mandler told MTV News. "Since the video dropped, I think I've received 200 e-mails, Facebook questions, tweets. There's a fascination with him and there's certainly been a void in music that he's come to fill."
According to Mandler, Drake's allure lies in his ability to fit in across various groups. That idea was at the heart of the two clips he's helmed for Drake, "Over" and "Find Your Love." For their collaboration, he explained, the two played against the convention of who Drake may or may not be.
"I think part of that is the kind of way he works across genres, the way he works across tonalities: Is he black, is he white, he's aligned with Wayne and the streets, but he's a nice guy from Toronto," Mandler said. "And that really was the theme with 'Over.' Especially with the album and the dualities in the music to come, in one song he rhymes and another song he sings, the artists he's working with — he's very hard to pin down.
"Part of the objective of making this video was to do that same twist again, to give you something unexpected, not only tonality with the song but with the video thematically. It's kind of like the anti-love love story."
In the video, Drake is advised to get out of dodge when he tries to woo the love interest of a local gang lord. He ignores the words of the elder Jamaican sage and instead ventures into the ghettos of "Gully Side" to see his leading lady once more. As Drake and the man speak, words run across the screen warning of the perils of unknowingly taking things too far.
"It's really about crossing lines, what was said in the first scene," Mandler said about Drake's chase for love. "It's about really understanding what's right and what's wrong and it's really easy to lose that when you're the center of attention."
The director said the idea of "Find Your Love" was to serve as a follow-up to "Over," which he felt helped to clear the slate of everything pre-Thank Me Later, Drake's forthcoming debut album. The video was to feature visuals that begin a new story in the young rapper's life. Mandler applauded Drake's efforts in making the clip happen.
"He did it fearlessly," Mandler beamed. "He did it without any sign of hesitation. That was incredible. He wanted to do something that went further with the song, that took the essence of the song but communicated it with imagery that made people think, rather than go up the middle and make an obvious R&B video. That's completely not who Drake is."

K-OS stopped by Much last night to hang out with Tim Deegan for a special edition of Flow. Having recently ended the “Away From Home Tour” with Drake, K-OS filled us in on the real story behind Drizzy’s new single “Find Your Love,” like where it came from.
“I have a bias with that song because I know that song, it’s a Kanye song written for Beyonce,” K-OS told Much. “Drake heard the song and he loved it so much that he sent Beyonce this email and said, ‘Yo I really really want this song” and she was like “This email is amazing, you can have it.
“So when I see the video I’m more like, ‘Wow, that’s the song that he like kinda got from Beyonce as opposed to the whole story line of it.’ But it’s good, I think, I think…”
K-OS added that he thinks Drake brings more to the rap game. “I think more than anything it’s good to see people who start off in rap music or call themselves rappers doing something more melodical. And that’s a song, you know what I mean, that’s what I like more about it.”

This is growing on me a little bit.
I'd rather hear it by a real singer I am getting SO sick of auto tune now.
