What’s the point of all this mysterious mambajamba?Are we still in 2015? If you allegedly have all this amazing music that would inspire and make lots of people happy sitting in the vault, why keep that to yourself? Why accept headliner spots to one of the biggest festivals in the world and still try to act mysterious before, during, and after it?
How are you one of the best artists of all time, or even in the convo, if you are too insecure to even drop music more than once every 8 years?
Just give the people the music, give fans engagement, etc. When you act mysterious, your delusional fans create these insanely unrealistic expectations for your next drop because they’re so starved of info, and 99.9% of they time will be disappointed, then the artist is SHOCKED when their new album tanks! “I go months without a phone”
I, for one, am very tired of this mysterious gimmick, and will continue to only listen to artists that get ACTUAL play outside, so I can interact with friends, family, and peers alike in music discussion that won’t leave them confused and terrified. What’s wrong with that? Can you imagine discussing “Auntie Diaries” at a kickback? Now imagine discussing how much of a paradigm shift Honestly, Nevermind was
Please go outside

"give fans engagement" literally sounds like corporate talk lol.
Please go outside
this facts. if you complain at the lack of a marketing campaign you spend too much time online and need to get entertained in reality
His last album was mysterious tho
I love abel the weeknd but at the end of the day he cried to his fans on twitter to please finally listen to his new album
i honestly wish more artist were mysterious. i miss when music was art and not a social media promotion tool
For most of his career we have known exactly where he was / who he was dating / what he's trying to do / listening to features / listening to interviews
MBDTF to Yeezus he was pretty lowkey
Why do you weirdos need a parasocial relationship with your favorite artists so badly
I get wanting music but anything more than that is loser nerd behavior
Dj Khaled destroyed music discussion so hard man lol.
And the sad part, I’m sure he thought he was just being upset that day and dont realize or admit the ramifications of what he said either.
Wow check this out sometimes artists don't feel like dropping music because they just don't feel like it's ready or just don't want to how hard is that to understand lol

Identity disturbance
Nah keep mystery music alive. F*** fans.
If you truly enjoy someone’s art and respect them as an artist you should let them do it however they want.
Its disgusting how a lot of people view artists these days and honestly a lot of them should say f*** the fans that don’t understand them.
Artists owe you nothing. Ever.
huh? Mike Dean album??
actual music enjoyers (not people that sit imagining what music would sound like and crying over low quality leaks) won
no surprise the dude who loves his fans would say this, fraud ocean would never
the truth is, mysterious music is out of fashion, im expecting a late 2000s renaissance soon, it's never been a better time to be a normal functioning human in society
we out here getting money in 2023
