oh yah. the earliest concepts of alone again and heartless were in that summer timeframe. even the inclusion of Frank Dukes in alone again credits supports this

lock in

the date of the next apple event isn't announced yet right? that would prob be a good indicator

this thread might go nuclear if there's another apple s***

this thread moves too fast but i swear there was some announcement about an "immersive experience" with new The Weeknd music in November, someone can confirm or correct me lol

oh i meant another apple s*** after that. immersive s*** is confirmed

iPhone 16 pro max required to stream HUT

Top 3 on dawn

it’s this month

but the immersive experience and the new single it previews is next month

Thick of It > HUT Rollout

I really wonder how that is gonna work for people without an Apple Vision Pro. Like is it just gonna be uploaded to YouTube as well? If so, what’s the point of the Vision Pro premiere?

I can’t imagine him having something vital to the album rollout that is exclusive to an extremely niche piece of hardware

I get scared everytime you post now and itsn not even your fault

The Apple linkup is so odd though. I wonder why he’s collabing with them so heavily for this album

Just had war flashbacks to the “streaming service exclusive” era of album releases, can’t believe that was a thing for so long

Is die young a real track ? Can’t tell if it’s AI or not lol

dawn reference track by max, OPN. then someone put AI abel on it

Maybe he has some flexibility in his contract with universal to be able explore different avenues.

Unlike artists like Kendrick, Weeknd’s music is marketed by Universal, not exclusively licensed to. Maybe this helps him do exclusives like releasing Dancing In The Flames with Apple as opposed to dropping on insta for example 🤔
