Remember when Abel said usher copied him lol

Usher has been irrelevant for a long time now. So he is doing whatever he can do just to stay in picture

But he did

Makes sense cuz the wake me up song is literally the focal point of the movie where he loses his voice.

If y’all are expecting the film to coincide with the album’s release date, then that means you’re also expecting the album to not release until like April 2025 at the earliest.

A theatrical film with high profile talent attached to it isn’t getting a date announced that’s within a month or two of the announcement.

The best case scenario for this album coming sooner is the film either being scrapped or coming out months after the album has already been released

and the song has changed so much atp.

The producer of that song came out and said HOB was a direct influence on that track lol

Hob has influence a lot of r&b albums and given birth to many artists

the fact that we are 2 singles and MVs deep + sao paulo show into the rollout and we still haven't seen the imagery of the robe and the gate from the sao paulo promo and the movie, i'm still confident the movie ain't dead.

Barry literally came out last month that we are waiting for the good news tells me somethings on the horizon

Timeless is a good song, fantastic beat..but something is just off about it. A beat like that should lead to being catchier or sounding more grand. It just kinda falls flat after a while, even with decent melodies and a cool Carti verse. Outro revives song a bit but not enough imo. Song doesn't have the replay value it should.

Weeknd just recycling the Trilogy bars and lines I feel like he's said at least 10 times by now "fell in love with the scene/she wanna f*** with the team", "city on fire when im coming home" are classic Weeknd bars lol Other single is just trash but still looking forward to new album

Would not be a smart move to release this in 2025 commercial wise

ascap entries has gone up to 318 from 317

still nothing new is to be found

i love that this dude is a wmu stan. literally me

Only guy i trust with news atp lol

And status plane

Album Soon

I am convinced if Belong to the World came out today as a single it would go #1 easy

No 1 on apple music btw for straight 12 days hasn't left top 10 once and I'm supposed to believe the song isn't catchier

Do you believe in 10 years this will be one of the songs you go back to as an all time great Weeknd single? Cause it had that potential imo but it just feels like a regular song

Imo he's had about 1 of those each album. 0-2 so far with this one. I like the song, played tf out of it the first week it came out. But now that the hype has worn off a bit it's a cool lil track. Could've been a special song, all I'm saying

I don't think this song is trying to be a classic of some sort, the main purpose of this song is to generate buzz for the album and I think it is doing it perfectly

Yup. I just meant that Abel previously said that.. and that pic of usher is very similar to Heartless MV pics haha.
