It feels like since 2011's 'House of Balloons' The Weeknd hasn't sat still. Whether it's mega world tours or, you know, releasing forty records in under a decade, the Canadian's kept himself busy with his unique fusion of pop, hip-hop and r&b.⠀
⠀
On the eve of his first mixtape's tenth anniversary, we've joined forces for a collaborative Special Edition zine, featuring 100+ pages of exclusive images and discussion
'To be able to do a song that sounds refreshing for its time while becoming the biggest song of the year has been incredible,' he told us. '‘Blinding Lights’ sounds nothing like anything else on the radio.'
'My natural singing voice was inspired and shaped by Ethiopian music,' he told us.
'The older I got, I was exposed to more music, and my voice became a chameleon going into different characters with each album. By following my own path and breaking industry norms, it seems to be influencing others.'
'The main inspirations for my persona with After Hours,' he tells us, 'have been Sammy Davis Jr, Richard Pryor, Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Jim Carrey in The Mask.'
