Drake And Don Toliver Connect On ‘Solar Eclipse’ And ‘Cold Shoulder’ As FOMO Tracks Hit Streaming

Drake and Don Toliver officially bring two highly anticipated collaborations to streaming with “Solar Eclipse” and “Cold Shoulder,” giving fans two very different records from the FOMO era.

Both songs initially appeared during Drake’s Fear of Missing Out visual experience before receiving their official release as part of the expanded HABIBTI (FOMO) project.

Drake And Don Toliver Rework “Choosin’ Texas”

“Solar Eclipse” immediately stands out because of its connection to Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert’s “Choosin’ Texas.”

Rather than simply adding Drake and Don Toliver to the country record, the artists transform the material into a darker hip-hop record with a minimalist, atmospheric sound.

The Houston influence also runs through the record. Drake references the city’s famous slab culture and woodgrain steering wheels, while Don Toliver brings his own Houston identity to the collaboration.

Noel Cadastre handles the production, while the songwriting credits reflect the interpolation of the original country composition.

The record quickly became one of the standout moments from the FOMO rollout. Fans had already been circulating and discussing the song before its official arrival on streaming platforms.

“Cold Shoulder” Takes A More Emotional Route

“Cold Shoulder” moves in a completely different direction.

Drake and Don Toliver are joined by Yebba for a melodic R&B record centered on emotional distance and relationship tension.

The production is slower and more spacious, allowing the three vocalists to create a more intimate atmosphere. Don Toliver’s airy delivery complements Drake’s vocals, while Yebba adds another soulful dimension to the record.

The song was also introduced through the FOMO visual experience before its official release.

The accompanying visual presentation continues the cinematic approach Drake used throughout the FOMO rollout rather than treating the record like a conventional standalone music video.

Two Different Sides Of The Collaboration

The two records highlight why Don Toliver fits so naturally into Drake’s sound.

“Solar Eclipse” gives him a chance to connect his Houston identity with a country crossover while operating over a darker hip-hop backdrop.

“Cold Shoulder” allows him to lean further into the melodic R&B side of his artistry.

The contrast makes the pair of releases more interesting than simply dropping two collaborations at the same time. One record is built around an unexpected genre flip, while the other focuses on vocal chemistry and relationship-driven emotion.

From “FOMO” To Streaming

Both songs first reached fans through Drake’s Fear of Missing Out visual project in September.

The rollout blurred the lines between a short film and a collection of interconnected music videos, with several unreleased records appearing throughout the experience.

The expanded HABIBTI (FOMO) release eventually brought four of those songs to streaming, including “Solar Eclipse,” “Québec,” “Cold Shoulder” and “Classic Pt. 2.”

For Don Toliver, the releases also represent another major step in his ability to move between hip-hop, R&B and melodic music without losing his identity.

For Drake, they add another layer to an already active 2026 rollout.

“Solar Eclipse” and “Cold Shoulder” may sound completely different, but both records show Drake using Don Toliver’s versatility to explore another side of the FOMO era.
