OMG...

This shyt is wack. It's like a Jason Derulo song. :scust:


nikkas really like this?

The hook...the ha ha ha shyt.... :what:

I am a motherfukking starboy...like it sounds like some wack shyt to me. Like this some Nick Jonas shyt bruh. This is like an edgy song for motherfukkers like One Direction. This shyt sounds like an NYSNC song or some shyt.


I wish the Weeknd would go make an album with DangerMouse. You can change and shyt without making shytty songs like Starboy. You can change without making your sound generic as fukk.


DangerMouse and the Weeknd :jbhmm:

But nah...we got this wack shyt. :martin:


Ima sample the beat though...would make a dope beat :francis:

Listened to it again...

I like everything but the chorus...and the last verse...

I can see this being played in clubs everywhere.

It still feels like a Backstreet Boy song though

This is cool...None of his best stuff but he makes it work. I never know what to expect from his music sonically and the melody game stay on point thats what makes him such a great artist.

That "ha ha ha" part on the hook is pure struggle tho. definitely felt the pop influence there

Late as hell to the party.

*Also sees that the upcoming album is 18 tracks*


I've seen & heard enough:

If I could set up my bank account to have money automatically deducted out of my account every time Da Gawd drops, I'd do it.


He's spoon feeding the masses with this one and the song is still dope as hell..... I'm more excited tho that he's about to release a double album worth of material :wow:..... Gotta believe there's a happy medium of piff to satisfy his new fans that just got on wave & the old fans.....

Nah bruh...

Dangermouse can work with anybody and pretty much has...

Just think of some weird psychedelic HOB shyt.
Like I LOVE me some dangermouse, but I can't see him making anything that dark and wicked for the Weeknd to go ham over. I think a better fit would be Young Metro but the BEST fit is and always has been Doc Mckinney and Illangelo, the forces behind HOB -- the same ones that are making his new album.

The Weeknd isn't even that dark.

For RnB yeah...but most of his songs are midtempo. The darkest album he made was Kissland and that wasn't Doc Mckinney or Illangelo.

And the best Weeknd songs aren't him on some rap shyt just bragging about money and bytches...

His best songs are something like Professional or The Town or the Birds where he is detailing power in relationships. I rather him make a whole album like that than hear him go back to making songs like Loft Music.

The Weeknd wants to be the biggest popstar in the world. If he wants to keep his musical integrity and crossover...the best match for him in the role of an executive producer would be Dangermouse. Dangermouse just executive produced ASAP Rocky album.

Dangermouse can make dark music. Crazy was darker than half of Weeknd's catalog. The album Dangermouse made with Beck wasn't some happy go lucky lets have fun type of album. It was miserable and depressing music.
