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

[Vincent Van Goat]

We will now see the shelf life and how this ages

In the car the production and vocals definitely shine

 

[Maximus Meridius]

My first and only listen gave me the impression that this is a follow up to Kissland morseo than a continuation of what we got in 2011. It’s like the progression of someone who was skeptical about love/falling for someone, but he gave it a try a couple of times only for things to not work out. Now this is the tormented recollection of events while embracing the return to the single life.

Yeah this is the real follow up to KissLand. It's cohesive, it's dark but mature, it feels like a natural progression lyrically and production wise. His singing is on point like a mfer too.

I think right now Hurt you is my fav song. Super smooth and the lyrics are right where they need to be. Very odd look remix vibe for me. And the kill bill sounding sirens at the end

This. So far my favorite. The beat just goes

Call Out My Name knocks

 

[illwill8710]

I haven't taken The Weeknd seriously since kissland. I'm glad he gave us that darkness back.
Call out my Name is my overall favorite but the other songs all equally feel like a Ryu Donkey Kick to the feels.

We found each other
I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort
But falling for you was my mistake

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

Alright, I'm done for awhile. I played this like 7 times and it hasn't even been 24hrs yet.

A lot of new music dropped today, gonna see what everybody else is packing.

 

[JustBlaze.]

Finally got a chance to listen on the commute to work this morning. I'm impressed off the first listen. Gonna listen a few more times today and really dig in, though.

 

[NCtwin]

That's seriously the first thing I thought of when I heard that lyric.

And to those talking about the second part of "I Was Never There", man...

 

[lovehateself]

finally, the feels have come back !

 

[QU!K]

That beat switch on I Was Never There tho

I feel the album reaches a climax at Hurt You

 

[Narcissist]

The follow-up to Kiss Land might be more of an accurate comparison to this EP. It's just as cohesive.

You guys thinking we get 2 more EPs?

This **** gets better and better with every listen though. I feel like True Colors & Die For You could fit on here

 

[MVP]

Like Mary J Blige, hurt Abel is the best Abel. EP is pure heat. Hopefully he's done with the commercial lane.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

True colors one of my favorite songs pop or not

 

[QU!K]

While the production is stripped back and minimalistic, it's not lacking at all. It allows his voice and lyrics to shine by not being over produced.

Digging the deep house vibes on the Wasted Times kick drums. Probably Skrillex influence.

[tay1]

the production is definitely basic on the first few songs. But he let's the content and his voice shine which is cool

 

[tay1]

And house of balloons did drop in March. It'll be dope if he drops two more tapes within the year

 

[broncos19dm]

[broncos19dm]

Been listening to the explicit version via Apple Music, songs are also on his YT page for anyone interested!

Try Me, Hurt You and Call Out My Name are def album highlights. No complaints really, but Wasted Times is prob the worst imo.
