Drake and Sufjan Stevens might seem unlikely partners, but the connection is real. Sufjan has covered Drake's "Hotline Bling" live in concert before, in fact as of Februray this year, he had performed it live more than Drake, although that has probably changed now Drake has been touring heavily.
Anyway, Tumblr user Riveyoncé Cuoknowles, who is behind this epic work of fan fiction, has put together Six Swans, "the definitive mash-up album of Drake and Sufjan Stevens grestest hits." As with any good mash-up project, Six Swans has a funny title, amusing song names, and great artwork, but surprisingly, Drake actually sounds pretty great partnered with gentle acoustic guitars and Sufjan's delicate vocals.
