wish he would drop a tape of his loosies including this

GOAT song

Still baffles me that this isn't on streaming but the video is lmao

I tried to buy a bootleg one off of some place on IG and got scammed

Classic song though

Classic

It really is. This is the quintessential Weeknd song fr fr.

10/10 song

10/10 video

10/10 aesthetic

f***k this really history right here that's too iconic

I really need to know what the rest of that scrapped 2014 album was gonna sound like. Cause if it was leading towards the direction of KOTF and Often?

also why the hell hasn't abel put the song on streaming services yet

It would've potentially been HoB/Thursday/EoS level tbh

Often
KOTF
Might Not
Or Nah
That boy was wilding out

Felt like an album full of those sounds would've popped off huge. It's really a sound he needs to revisit.

Interesting read

When Kiss Land stalled, the Weeknd fell into a creative rut. "I just kept getting more and more depressed," he says. He considered relocating from Toronto to Seattle in search of a "super-drugged-out Nirvana vibe." Instead, after writing and scrapping an album's worth of material, he started spending more time in Los Angeles and listening to his label. Republic got him a choice placement on the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack with "Earned It" and set up a duet with Ariana Grande on her club-ready single "Love Me Harder," produced by synth-pop wizard Max Martin. "At first I was kind of iffy about it," the Weeknd says of the collaboration, which would have been unthinkable in the old days. "Five years ago? Definitely not. I was the young starving artist that wanted to do it all by myself."

imagine...

He said that the lyrics from Faith are about this era too. The time between Kiss Land and BBTM is so intriguing

I feel like the next album would be a perfect time to capitalize on this idea.

For sure. Curious to see what he does next. Hope he doesn't drop music for acting but that could maybe be nice too tbh.

watch him make his own movie and the soundtrack to that movie

Classic

2014 abel was reaching another peak until he decided he wanted to bubblegum with ariana

best Abel song tbh

Remember when it released and everybody hated it
