Weeknd the most creative artist out rn with Kendrick imo

You must be mistaking me for someone else.

No, I just don't care for pop Abel.

Wrong, Starboy was the perfect blend of the raw dark sound that he created, mixed with the pop appeal of a pop star

Matter of fact, I’ll go out on a limb to say “Die For You” is his best song to date!

why do you guys want artists to make the same kind of music for their whole career?

Starboy is probably the brightest album in his discography what are y’all talking about

It’s always about the money and the popularity huh

That’s always the excuse for Weeknd and Drake

What happened to being a real artist and the money and the popularity being a BYPRODUCT of the raw expression?

I give props to Weeknd tho cause he isn’t much of a trend rider, every album he chases a sort of different sound

My issue is it’s just not the sound I want him to make i guess lol, I’m selfish. BUT I do think more people would f*** w him, especially now that he’s a world wide superstar, f*** it bro take a “risk” even tho it’s not a risk cause we know you sound good on dark sound scapes

After Hours is the actual best blend of his original dark sound (Alone Again, Escape From LA, title track, etc.) with his commercial pop sound (Blinding Lights, Save Your Tears, In Your Eyes)

Sacrifice is dope too, but it’s funny how people just read the fact that I said it’s “cheesy” and not the next sentence where I said I like the song (Out of Time)!

I know the ultimate test to prove to y’all that you’re just listening to the music because you love the ARTIST, but not necessarily because you love that style of ART. There’s nothing bad with enjoying cheesy music. I enjoy plenty of it from time to time:

Name me FIVE other artists that you listen to that make music like “Out of Time” or “Sacrifice”, and don’t tell me there isn’t any, cause I know plenty (new or old)

Mfers scrambling to Google rn just to not validate my point

Everything after Starboy has been hot ass if we're being honest

hahahahahahahahahahahahabahahah

hahahaha where are these f***ing goons coming out of the woodwork coming from

starboy is garbage

how you gonna hate on weeknd for ‘going pop’ then praise his most gentrified album

you’re weird asl

cuz he been a fake - he only cares about the money

all this talk about weeekend oh so sad drake took half of my album and used songs in take care is just cope by abel and his fans. they need to understnd that last two albums by abel flopped (by that i mean did not performed as an artist of his caliber would)

i wouldnt say its a fall off but just very stagnant s*** so far.

jk- wanted to start some s\*\*\* for no reason lol

You gotta visually look at his new fans

Honestly, starboy

Is there someone else lock thread

i was about to be on your ass ngl

like ive seen people say dawn fm flopped, but nigga AFTER HOURS?

My favorite song of his on his last couple projects has been Snowchild, never get tired of it

"I used to pray when I was 16..."

You're right. I'm sure he has had alot of hot ass since Starboy, he's a casanova after all

Often?
