“Hotline Bling” has become one of Drake’s biggest hits ever and I haven’t even played it yet! And now it has a video featuring Drake doing corny but endearing dance moves. Like the song itself, this one is pretty simple but also pretty memorable. 

There’s also a claim that "Hotline Bling" has taken its beat from another song. D.R.A.M. performed in Drake’s home city of Toronto on Monday night and took the opportunity to note on Twitter that the experience had been “bittersweet”. Sweet, he said, because he was sharing his music; bitter because “after my performance, all I’m seeing is 'Cha Cha'/'Hotline Bling' comparisons on my timeline”. 

“Yeah, I feel I got jacked for my record,” he said. “But I’m GOOD.”

Drake himself has acknowledged the similarity between "Hotline Bling" and "Cha Cha", but has said it’s just because he’s trying to do what reggae and dancehall artists have long been doing...
