    HoB is pop music. Inb4 “it’s r&b” contemporary r&b=popular music.

    How has he evolved when he keeps using that same trash starboy beat and melody

    How the actual F*** does this snippet sound like literally ANYTHING off Starboy? When do y’all stop pulling random s*** out of your ass

    I swear Trilogy fans need their own sxn, like the mans evolved

    imagine if he were to just keep chasing what he made in 2011, that would be so lame

    What your dead ass cant understand is he hasnt evolved. He watered down his music. This is a music forum. We dont measure success based in money and fame. Trilogy cannot be touched musically by anything in his discography. We loved it because it was a breath of fresh air and nothing he has released since kissland sounds original.

    why are you so upset lol? what YOUR dead ass doesn't understand is that neither The Weeknd, nor YOU, nor ANYONE on this planet will recreate the breath of fresh air Trilogy or his first mixtapes brought. So stop expecting it from him

    And where did I mention fame or money? Does Starboy sound like a carbon copy of Trilogy? no it doesn't. Thats because HIS sound evolved as an artist. You guys say you're fans but stay comparing him to other pop artists or the fact that 80's synth pop has been done before why is he doing it.

    Like gtfoh, imagine telling Michael rock music isn't a lane he should pursue because there are a million other artists that have done it better, yet we still got Bad and it was incredible. This is why you lames need your own sxn called "2011-The Weeknd" cause you guys don't understand that Trilogy will never happen again lmao, log out

    That’s not the f***ing argument I was making tho. I was saying THIS PARTICULAR snippet sounds like another starboy song. I’m down with his 80s pop music that hes apparently about to do but not if it SOUNDS LIKE STARBOY (the song). this beat or vibe just sounds like a watered down starboy with a mix of other generic tracks he had on that trash of an album.

  • mdm was fire so i hope its in that realm

    I completely disagree with you. Bbtm and starboy could have been made by any artist. Its good for pop music but its 9bjectively watered down foe the masses. Trilogy and kissland were not made with sales in mind. Im not asking for that sound, im just tired of the same repetitive ass melodies he rehashes every single new release and dont see that as evolving. Agree to disagree.

    1. I wasnt talking to you lmao? idk what your actual point was

    edit: my bad just realized ur op thought this was a dif thread high asl

    2. its like a 15 second snippet lmao, like just enjoy it and wait for the album to actually s*** on it. Cause if it does just sound like Starboy believe me I will s*** on it too

    i dont think just anyone could have made often, tell your friends, starboy, reminder

    there are a few unoriginal moments on both albums but you’re really downplaying The Weeknd as an artist if you think those highs on bbtm and starboy could be replicated

    anyways, agree to disagree

    Bro only Weeknd could have made starboy and replicated it a million times but I disgree with you on often and reminder. Both those songs were mad generic and this is coming from someone that loved both songs

    okay you might be right it is possible to duplicate, but its the fact that no one will do it as good as he does, his voice, his style of singing, thats what people love, he’s carved his own brand in the world of rnb/pop

    like I get where you guys are coming from, he definitely took the money/fame route, but he hasn’t lost that dark edge in his brand, i.e. often, starboy, just look at the lyrics and the listen to the vibe of these songs

    ive never heard anything like tell your friends or starboy, daft punk let homie kill that beat for a reason

    Okay bro this is high key the realest take. Your the first person that has said that this mans voice cannot be duplicated. Sure other mfs have tried but clones are never better than the og. Also I agree that even his most pop sounding songs have the darkest lyrics. cfmf, rockin, love to lay etc Dude also made one of the darkest club bangers (the hills) goat artist fr

    Honestly I agree with Op to an extent... I’m done listening to re-skins of “starboy” like “lost in the fire” “Pray for me” e.t.c.

    We were promised “no more daytime music” and “blinding lights” sounds poppy af smh

    I still have hopes for the album and I do know for a fact that regardless of the route he takes I’m still playing tf out of it, BUT I do hope he feeds the OG mfs who want something similar to Trilogy or at least something in the MDM realm
