"Too Much" is a song by Canadian
hip hop recording artist
Drake from his third studio album Nothing Was the Same (2013). "Too Much" features vocals from English singer
Sampha and contains
samples from his track of the same name. The song was later released as the sixth overall single from Nothing Was the Same in the
United Kingdom on December 9, 2013. Prior to its release, it was added to the playlists of UK radio stations
BBC Radio 1Xtra and
BBC Radio 1 on October 31, 2013,[1] and November 25, 2013, respectively.
Critical reception
"Too Much" was met with generally positive reviews from
music critics. David Amidon of
PopMatters wrote that it was "hard... not to look at 'Too Much' as the brief return of the album we really want from Drake. This is the sort of song where everything comes together in such new, glimmering ways as to validate any claims Drake makes to shifting the game around on opener 'Tuscan Leather'."[2] Tim Sendra of
AllMusic called "Too Much" a "brilliant combination of brag rap and quiet storm balladry."[3] Julia Leconte of Now praised its production as "beautiful."[4] Evan Rytlewski of The A.V. Club opined that the song "is beautiful in its achy simplicity."[5]
