WHAT? heartless has an incredible instrumental, different structures, flows, bars, everything.
Bars came off like a weak imitation of his old self, ill give u the instrumental tho
“Duffle bag full of d****” compared to “liquid g diet” is like post malone v future
I think you just have a narrow view of what pop is and can be. You’re thinking of it as just radio bait Shawn Mendes type s***.
MDM is def a pop EP
By this logic I think you could literally call anything pop then
Kinda crazy abel never folded and went back to trilogy / kiss land sound eventhough how highly it was demanded by fans
By this logic I think you could literally call anything pop then
You could.. but Abel has become a staple in music as a whole, that alone is enough to consider him a pop artist
I think BBTM > Starboy, but Starboy cut down > BBTM
it's not even close to me, I rarely ever play BBTM but starboy is constantly on rotation
I think it was my boy @Biginthegame who said at this point Republic exec would be excited if he came in and pissed on their desks.
That mans deal is probably insanely in his favor and he has no reason to leave
What do y'all think about Lost in the Fire?
I hated it until alek leaked the gesaffelstein extended version that’s got like a 3 minute outro
Snowchild was a bigger moment in the narrative than heartless

i love snowchild though i might genuinely be that songs biggest fan

How is a song like Wasted Times or Try me not pop?
it's not even close to me, I rarely ever play BBTM but starboy is constantly on rotation
As You Are , Angel and Acquainted man
Huge mid
I wanna like it cause the beat is kinda cool, but they were both on autopilot yeah
We got a great Memento Mori episode out of it though
Kinda crazy abel never folded and went back to trilogy / kiss land sound eventhough how highly it was demanded by fans
Probably wasn't hard for him. The life he's living now isn't isn't same as trilogy days

So it’s just about how popular you are and has nothing to do with the genre of music?
Got it lol
Done listening to BBTM, and it’s still a mid pack. Great singles, great art direction but the album has too many corny moments. He needed to make this album to get where he is now but it was definitely a step in the wrong direction creatively.
