Title.
I started thinking about this the other day, and, as someone who has become a stan of The Weeknd over a somewhat short amount of time recently (one project clicked, and then they all did, and then I just couldn’t stop listening) I was curious about what if Able just released one mixtape, got signed, and called it a day?
Of course part of how awesome he is is that he spoils us, so of course he didn’t just do that, but if he did, and the tape was only 9 songs like the ones that exist now, what would be the optimal 9 song run in your opinion?
Here’s mine:
1. Lonely Star
2. House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls
3. The Party and the After Party
4. The Birds Part 1
5. Wicked Games
6. Loft Music
7. The Knowing
8. Rolling Stone
9. The Birds Part 2
Bonus Track for label re release: Gone
Sorry to Echos of Silence fans, because that’s a very solid tape, but I find myself coming back to HoB and Thursday way more, which I guess showed in my list.
But even still, how would you do it? I’d love to know!

1 The Morning
2 Wicked Games
3 Lonely Star
4 Gone
5 Rolling Stone
6 Valerie
7 Dirty Diana

It's such a good outro. Beautiful serene but not tacky.

Oh yeah, I agree 100%, more music is better than less music, ESPECIALLY when it’s all this good.
I just thought it’d be fun to see what people would cut if they absolutely had to
