Weeknd

I don't know what it is about the hills (maybe I do), but I'm just obsessing over this song. Everything from the mastery, to how dark it is, especially with the music video adding to it.

Man does a looot of drugs and I feel like maybe he was on drugs when he made the song. And the song sounds so incredible when you're on drugs. I feel like it has literally been stuck in my head overnight.

House of Balloons turns 10 years old today, and the original version is now on Spotify

 
Sounds like it's gonna be a full blown synthwave album.

The music hit the studio like a Mack truck. The new project is packed with party records. Like real-deal, illuminated-white-tiles-on-the-floor party records. Quincy Jones meets Giorgio Moroder meets the best-night-of-your-****ing-life party records. Not anachronistic disco stuff. (Not “cosplay,” as Abel put it.) That sort of retro thing is having a moment right now in pop music, but these records are new. Sweaty. Hard. Drenched-suit, grinding-on-the-girl/boy-of-your-dreams party records.

“It’s the album I’ve always wanted to make,” Abel said. That statement would linger in my brain for days. As did the music. It became nearly impossible to find something else to listen to. Everything else sounded soft. Or didn’t groove enough. Or felt too happy. Or too sad. It was clear to me that this isn’t just the album The Weeknd has always wanted to make; it’s the album we’ve always wanted him to make.
