if this nigga don’t go to bed

“It’s the album I’ve always wanted to make,” Abel said. 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.

“It’s the album I’ve always wanted to make,” Abel said

This might be his most personal interview yet

KANYE GET THIS MAN TO THE STADIUM AND LET HIM ON DONDA

WEEKND X ARCA AAAHHHHHHHH

F***KKKKK KISS LANDDDDDDDDDDDDD
That song that you just heard? That’s Kiss Land, man. It’s just me understanding how to use Kiss Land now, in my craft. But it’s definitely my most honest record. I was the most naked. Most vulnerable. And it is what it is.

"Heartbreak isn’t a good experience, but it still inspires great music."

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD

Honestly, I don’t think so. I was tapped out, man. It just didn’t feel authentic. Like, Kiss Land felt way more authentic. At least Kiss Land was a genuine thing. It might not have been what people expected. It might not have been great at the time. But that was who I was. And that’s what all these albums are: That’s who I am at that time. Melancholy. Six songs. That’s all I got. How come it’s not nine songs? Because I got nothing else to say.

I AM LOSING YM F***ING MIND HERE

@Artisntdeadyet

its truly over

The one and only moment when The Weeknd appeared in the studio was right before 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 dawn will be the greatest album ever tbh

this interview so fire, interviewer knew what's up and asked some real great questions
