Drake has quietly expanded his latest release, adding four previously unreleased songs that first appeared in his short film to the streaming version of Habibti. The move extends a year of heavy output from the artist and carries immediate implications for streaming totals, chart activity and his reported touring plans for next year.
The refreshed edition of Habibti pulls material from last month’s short film, FOMO, and brings new collaborators into the album’s fold. Listeners will find a reworked take on an existing hit alongside fresh cuts that feed into the wider campaign Drake has been running across music and visuals this year.
- “Solar Eclipse” — a reimagining of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” now presented with a feature from Don Toliver.
- “Quebec” — one of the unreleased tracks lifted from the short film.
- “Classic PT2” — a sequel-style cut that continues a motif from earlier material.
- “Cold Shoulder” — another Don Toliver collaboration that also includes vocal contributions from Yebba.
Altogether, this year’s new Drake releases amount to roughly three hours and ten minutes of fresh music. That tally is separate from the roughly one hour and two minutes of accompanying video content he released alongside his 2026 projects—visual work that has played like a series of short films and helped frame the music rollout.
The FOMO premiere also served as a platform for an announcement: Drake indicated plans to tour next year, a development that could translate these streaming-focused releases into a traditional live cycle. For fans and industry observers, that means the recent additions are not just album filler but material likely to figure into set lists and promotional activity.
There are wider ripple effects beyond Drake’s catalog. Don Toliver released his own album, Octane, in February, and the original song “Choosin’ Texas” recently set a new benchmark by reaching its 24th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100—an endurance that helps explain why a reworked version would be of interest to both artists.
What this means for listeners and the market:
- More content for playlists and radio rotations, which can sustain streaming momentum across platforms.
- Potential setlist previews for a tour next year, increasing demand for live tickets if the new tracks are featured prominently.
- Greater exposure for collaborators such as Don Toliver and Yebba, who benefit from appearing on a high-profile release tied to a major artist’s cinematic rollout.
For deeper context on Don Toliver’s prominence this year, music critics have begun exploring how his work and frequent collaborations have elevated his profile; one recent column examines the artist’s sudden ubiquity and the industry forces behind it.
The expanded Habibti edition and its newly released songs are now part of Drake’s ongoing multimedia approach—merging short films, music videos and album updates into a single, sustained campaign that keeps his work in cultural circulation and on the charts.
