The Weeknd on Going From Indie R&B Enigma to the Pacesetting Prince of Pop

At just 26 years old, Tesfaye has moved the collective needle toward his own velvety version of pop. New albums from solo singers like Zayn and Nick Jonas are as indebted to The Weeknd as Tesfaye is to Jackson, so much so that when Zayn’s debuted this spring, Beauty Behind the Madness jumped back up to number eight on iTunes. Others are tapping into his magic, too: So far this year, The Weeknd has featured on Rihanna’s song “Woo,” Kanye West’s “FML,” and “6 Inch,” a track on Beyoncé’s press-stopping visual album Lemonade. “Right now, the radio is peppered with hints of production elements and vocal stylings that were very likely inspired by The Weeknd,” Swift says. “In our industry, that’s the surest sign you’re doing something right.” (The Weeknd purists will be pleased to hear that he’s in the studio with the House of Balloons team again. “But it’s a new thing,” Tesfaye assures me. “Always a new thing.”)

Really hoping Abel goes back to his roots on the next album

 

[Black Nate Grey]

Maybe he and Doc, I see that as possible
But Abel completely fukked rose over, I don't see that bridge being repaired.
Also Thursday > HOB but I'm glad to see him go back to his roots more or less

 

[stealthbomber]

abel on his trilogy shyt

 

[Ronald]

Good

 

[ADK]

Yes
BBTM has no replay value The Trilogy and Kiss Land never get old to me.

 

[Rembrandt]

The Hills was a good step back in that direction, but nothing beats The Trilogy. An iconic package of work.

 

[We Major]

Classic incoming

 

[Fani Willis fan]

Yes
BBTM has no replay value The Trilogy and Kiss Land never get old to me.

KissLand is not better than BBTM, people are being hipsters

 

[WickedGames]

KissLand is not better than BBTM, people are being hipsters

It is.

The 2nd half of BBTM is the worst thing Weeknd has done in his career.

Word. Earned It, As You Are, Angel are horrible songs. Rest of the album is nice

 

[FunkyFresh]

I loved Kissland.

Flowed so well.

Great melodies

Dark production.

 

[gottah8me]

Bring back that Trilogy sound and we got a winner.

What happened?

 

[WickedGames]

I like Earned It if I'm honest but I hardly revisit anything on the album after Cant Feel My Face

With all his other projects I love it back to front

 

[RichYung]

I think Alicia Keys is working with Illangelo and Doc too.

I don't care for him "going back" we have a whole package of work that we can revert back to.... I'm happy they're back together tho.... Hopefully they can spark some new shyt.
