Amazing song but them drums are just a basic dance kick and a side chained open hat
Nah you can’t say “I made your whole aesthetic and career” and expect the man to ever be cool with you again
it’s a shame they’ll never work together again i think the weeknd moved on but they’re so good together

Yeah it’s definitely a travesty. But they made undeniable classics together so at least we have that

that's lamar right?
Nah
The original Crew Love beat sounds a bit wacky. You could find it on SoundCloud sometime ago
I genuinely think about this a lot as well
It is just mind-bending how a 20/21 year old without a particularly strong musical background released House of Balloons
Not going to call it 'lightning in a bottle' because Abel has proved time and time again how insanely talented he is
But these sessions really do exemplify that notion of 'lightning in a bottle', who knows what kind of energy was in the studio at the time, honestly just perfect timing mixed with perfect talent
i think it was inevitable that the mix of dream pop and R&B in the late 00’s - earl 10’s was inevitable with the return of 80’s aesthetics in the internet through chill wave
the fact that it happened through someone like Abel is probably the only time i can think of a creative opportunity to innovate truly being taken to the maximum

Another case of brilliance in music, Lorde was 16 when she released Pure Heroine, which to me is not so far from Abel's mixtapes, and Frank's releases

fr it blows my mind
the fact he dropped three tapes in the same year as well as like helping make a decent chunk of take care too is remarkable. i think that era was just a perfect storm of talent and energy where he made that music we never really getting anything like it again
he was hungry then
this one better tho
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTgv14OaZUkI'm unsure if it's Abel singing that indian part, but the youtube comments seem to think he is. If that's so, then I'm glad. Glad cause it's been 3+ years I've been meaning to find a track to substitute "Live For", the weakest link from KL, and bring the tape from a 9/10 to a 10/10, and today I can undoubtedly say my search is finally over. ☺

Just replace Live For with For your Eyes Only

psst! I kinda replaced it with Lorde's Yellow Flicker Beat lol 😋😉
Imma check that though, but I think that leaks that sound unfinished/unmastered will stand out bad among the other tracks

i find it funny as hell when he did memento mori kiss land edition he played every song except that from the album even odd look

Really? This is the best thing I've read in a while 😂
Good to know he's aware of the weak links in that album.
Abel confirmed an OG weeknd fan, one of those with clear thoughts 😁👍

he’s very in touch with his fans still and he could tell a load of them hate that song
i wish i could listen to this song for the first time it blows my mind they made this song the first time they met and they made it in like 30 to 45 minutes.
those kickdrums are so genius
how do you come up with this kind of music so easily
Actually the whole intro reminds me of Daft Punk - The New Wave

That isn’t the original version though, it’s this one @op
Still crazy that he had the insane lyrics of XO and Crew Love written as a 20/21 year old though
