The Weeknd Thread ( "The Dawn FM" OUT NOW)

[murkn3m]

"baby won't you take me as I am"

 

[QU!K]

I dunno, I'm hoping he feels like he did what he thought he needed to do with BBTM

Now he doesn't need to appeal to the masses anymore and can make that real grimey **** now

or he can just drop a mixtape/album out of nowhere like WATTBA or IYRTITL

Or that [emoji]128293[/emoji]like KOTF

One can only hope

Bout to read this... Looks like it might give us hints

"Incidentally, “The Morning” might also be the best window into what’s next for Tesfaye, as he says that the song’s producer, his “mentor” Doc McKinney, will play a big role on the album."

The writer said about kiss land "middingly creative"

Welp

 

[stick]

Yeah that article sucked.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dude used Wikipedia to write the article

 

[shoeking2102]

He wrote it all in Los Angeles hmm

Yeah I'm gonna continue to accept that the dudes life changed dramatically from the mixtape days so expecting a mixtape type album just isn't realistic

However I just ask we get an album with tracks like low life

Funny you posted this, I ran into Weeknd like not too long ago on a Sunday in the AM in Westwood near UCLA

Sad that Illangelo isn't on the new album but at least we know Doc is and honestly, I'm more interested in his production in 2016 than Ill.

I can rock with some Ben Billions production as well, I'm hoping Doc is basically the executive producer so I don't have to worry about any other decisions on that side.

#NTXO really should've just copped 200k copies of Kiss Land when it first dropped 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Was it that he wasn't "fond of the album" or he wasn't "fond of the response to the album"?

I feel like he traveled all around the world during that time and enjoyed his visit in Japan which inspired the project. It would suck if he really wasn't fond of that album, it's withstood the test of time so far

 

[guzzy]

Apparently it's the best sounding music he's ever recorded.

According to who?

If it's coming from him I would take that with a hefty grain of salt...artists always say that ****

"Best album Ive ever made"

He wanted a pop smash but it didn't work or take him to the level he thought an album should take him

Thus, disappointment. I don't think it had anything to do with the music, just the success of it

I have my copy on vinyl, Kiss Land was fantastic IMO. Way better than BMTM.

“My cult following is so strong already. Thanks to my fans that have been with me from the beginning, I was able to sell out arenas on my own. I just felt like I was selling myself short. The last album [2013’s Kiss Land] was rushed. Even though I’m proud of it, I didn’t get to spend as much time as I wanted, but it was a great learning experience. I took my time with my new album. I learned, I studied and I delivered. I want the world to hear my music and see the movement my fans and I have created.”

[nom de guerre]

Always felt that Kiss Land was perfect in terms of where he wanted to go in his career. His buzz was big enough to do the Ariana collab and get on the Fifty Shades soundtrack.

 

[lobcity]

Classic!

 

[robtoofresco]

Classic!

Damn skippy.

The relatability factor is through the roof on this one

 

[illicit305]

That time of the thread again? Kissland is the best compilation of music ever period
