Can we admit that Abel has been plagiarizing less popular music? He's got big hits that are very similar to some recent songs I've heard on South African radio

Brought this up last year as soon as I heard Save Your Tears and niggas acted like they don't hear the similarities

This one not as similar but I genuinely couldn't tell which song was playing when I'd hear them on the radio. They start off the same and sound similar throughout

title already incorrect

reach

How he don’t write his s*** anyway lol

I honestly think its coincidence man. Especially with the second one, there's just a lot of songs being made that sound like that rn.

Tb to him taking a melody from a Godspeed song

Thread lookin shaky already OP

Weeknd goat it just showed that he nowhere near as poppin as Big 🅿️ Wunna

What kind of "mysterious music" ass nerds hate The Weeknd?

"Big 🅿️" huh...

That sounds more like tropical house than retrowave, and Weeknd has distinct vocals of his own design when he's not just aping MJ.

The second one is literally MJ over Daft Punk.

those songs sound like a grillion songs made in the 70s and 80s lmao

We?!!
Idk that’s only you OP

Wdym? The mysterious music nerds are the ones streaming the #2 album

Post some examples?

This site not gon stop til Weeknd fans are extinct lmao

That first one does sound pretty blatant that being said Weeknds take on this type of music is so derivative that it’s entirely possible he didn’t actually hear that first song before

Even the music video for that first song you posted is a rip off of Vance Joy's Riptide and some Joji Beat is straight up Kygo

OP made a thread in peak Weeknd hate season and he still missed

Crazy

Abel is still one of my favorite artists ever don’t get it twisted

Highly doubt you can find 10 songs from the 70s and 80s that sound as similar to that South African version of Save Your Tears
