The ambient bridge that goes into his verse was the definition of mindblowing. Ive Never heard anything like that before at the time.

Nah sorry a mod has to do that for you
this:
this new music is “The album I’ve always wanted to make."
combined with Quincy f***ing Jones
combined with
Abel played me a few new songs off his upcoming album. He turned around, grinned, and asked, “Ready?”
It wasn’t prompted by genuine concern that maybe I needed to grab a notebook or a bottle of water. Concern is Abel stuff. This “Ready?” was condescending. Knowing. It had a certain arrogance someone could only conjure with 100 percent certainty that I was indeed not ready. And he was right.
The music hit the studio like a Mack truck. The new project is packed with party records. Like real-deal, illuminated-white-tiles-on-the-floor party records. Quincy Jones meets Giorgio Moroder meets the best-night-of-your-fucking-life party records. Not anachronistic disco stuff. (Not “cosplay,” as Abel put it.) That sort of retro thing is having a moment right now in pop music, but these records are new. Sweaty. Hard. Drenched-suit, grinding-on-the-girl/boy-of-your-dreams party records.
That statement would linger in my brain for days. As did the music. It became nearly impossible to find something else to listen to. Everything else sounded soft. Or didn’t groove enough. Or felt too happy. Or too sad. It was clear to me that this isn’t just the album The Weeknd has always wanted to make; it’s the album we’ve always wanted him to make.
if he stays the course it’ll be the best project he’s ever put out.
omfg we're getting a classic

I could cry
The way that “Ready” was described
He's overhated but he hasn't been as good as he used to be. Flower Boy was in 2017 that's 5 years ago
Agree, Flower Boy is his opus for me. I thought Igor had some good highs though. Latest album isn’t that great for me
interesting list of features, excited to see how the Tyler feature will work, but looking forward to the OPN feature the most. No Nightmares was one of my songs of 2020.
Would have loved another abel x disclosure collab but we move
could still be on here
he hasn't mentioned producers other than OPN and Quincy who are definitely special exceptions

And call me if you get lost was just last year
he varies quite a lot in style but this will give you a good overview
Really good job of encapsulating near enough every Tyler era in 4 tracks
Although that may or may not be biased because those are 4 of my favourite Tyler tracks lmao
