does anyone have a collection of the interviews he did?
I was tryna find the one where he talks about Kiss Land not being received great and how it put him in a dark place.

It’s this one I think
rollingstone.com/music/music-features/how-the-weeknd-went-from-broke-in-canada-to-sharing-stage-with-taylor-swift-42832
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.”

Yeah I mean why was it trending on iTunes all of a sudden.
It is aging like fine wine though. I think i retracted my initial review on KTT and stated it was ahead of its time.

100%.
That’s the one thing that grills me when people call him out for being a “popstar” in a derogatory manner — like, there’s nobody on the f***ing planet who makes songs so explicit about cocaine and infidelity which still go straight to number 1. Nobody else could do it. He’s The motherfucking Weeknd.
