Jul 25, 2022·3 repliesSHAQUILLEDawn fm was nothing crazy. Bro made a 80s flavored pop album. S*** we’ve already heard before literally 40 years ago
And what was crazy innovative about Blonde? bro was biting Prince heavy on that one
The musical value on Dawn FM is crazy, most of the instrumentals on Blonde and CO are FL/Ableton loops. Abel and the producers actually put in work on the music for Dawn FM
Abel much more prolific than Frank while still having the same or even more influence. Has MUCH more hits, his discography is more versatile, has classic videos and album eras. There’s no comparison bro

Weeknd has no influence tbh. Frank has a lot more than him and it’s not really even close.
OPN went crazy on Dawn fm ngl but still Blonde and CO are better.
Also weeknd era s*** feels mad fake. It never comes across like a genuine “this is what I’m on” type s***.
Bro basically clears his IG on some “on this date im going to start wearing this suit and old man” type s***
I’ll give you hits and videos though

The Weeknd has no influence?
Him and Drake literally switched up how mainstream music sounds

My hot take is that people give him the credit for changing modern r&b that should go to Drake|| and ||PND. Cause it was really almost all them and very little Abel

i dont think Blonde was "crazy innovative" or anything but I think the genre blend he did on it was pretty unique, i still see people arguing what to call it and i dont think anyone did that same mix of singer-songwriter + pop + r&b + indie etc.
what Prince songs do you think Blonde sounds exactly like?

I feel like Frank heard Signs “O” The Times and The Love Below and made that s*** indie/more lo-fi. Blonde is great but it’s very overrated imo, the writing is top tier of course but the production isn’t anything out of this world, lots of artists used pitched up vocals before (Prince and 3k come to mind), Frank just decided to use that sound for a whole project and released that s*** at the right time.

The musical value on Dawn FM is top tier, I don’t think any other modern mainstream artist besides maybe Kendrick on TPAB decided to put in that much work into the music as Abel on this project.

It wasn’t Abel. listen to most modern r&b. It sounds like pnd and Drake. Barely any of it sounds like The Weeknd.
Tiller, Summer Walker, etc all PND sons. Plus all that “trap n b” s*** is branched off Drake and Party. Not really The Weeknd.
One of the biggest lies in music the past 10 years has been giving The Weeknd credit for Party’s influences

Frank could never release another song and Blonde + CO would be better than any Weeknd album
Wrong

His vocals are immaculate, and dancing isn't necessary
