The Weeknd Thread ( "Hurry Up Tomorrow" Coming Soon)

[stick]

The way that the beat builds up and progresses throughout Tears in the Rain . His adlibs are on it too. Song gives me the chills every single time I listen to it. Perfect ending to the album.

I'm telling ya, if that song had been out back when I was going thru a rough break up, I woulda been even worse off.

Joint cuts to the bone, yo.

That and "adaptation", cuz like Abel is talking about in the song, it was my choice. I made a trade, and it was the hardest decision of my life.

Son. I know what you mean. Smh

put it on everything, that is EXACTLY what was going through my head today when i was listening to him on my way to work

If this was in reference to my post about singing songs like the live versions, then

I'm going to start posting in here more often I swear, Abel is my favorite artist right now other than Cudi. I've been a Cudi fan since '09 and no other artist, from then to now, has been so flawless and hits me like The Weeknd does that I've even considered someone up there with Cudi. Maybe it's the subject matter, or the rhythm, or his vocals, I'm not sure but this *****'s music is incomparable. I've posted in here before but I just listened to his music with a but of a buzz and it made me remember how much of a fan I am. XO/The Host, Professional, Coming Down and Lonely Star :x . The only song of his that I didn't like at all was his Dirty Diana cover. Should have never touched it IMO.



Actually considered changing my avy to something XO changed my avy twice in the five years I've been here, for reference.

 

[ill legal operation]

^ Cudi is that N' too ...

...but you buggin' on "Dirty Diana" my dude - Abel has obvious vocal similarities to Michael, so a cover was bound to happen.

But if you really think about it, "Dirty Diana" was the perfect song for him to hop on...

...the subject matter is so "XO".

Man I remember the first time I heard that **** I was in complete awe...

...and then it went to "Montreal" and I crowned him King.

Ever since Kanye went Yeezy on us (He's still my favorite artist to ever live regardless) Abel's music just does something to me no other artists has before. Funny because just a few years ago I didnt see the hype because I found his voice "corny" but once I really sat and listened one day to EOS I was hooked.

Drake is my #1 go to listen right now but Abel is 1a. His lyrics man...amazing beyond words.

& cosign on D.D.

Abel ripped that cover. Closet voice to MJ to cover that imo

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

I've been asking for Cudi x Weeknd for a while now.

Cudi doesn't talk about drugs as much as he used to, but they're both on that similar dark & moody introspective **** so I know they can make the subject matter work.

And unlike most of the co-features, it wouldn't feel like Cudi was marginalized coming off the bench and letting Weeknd get his points off. He ain't ever here to drop a great 16. They just both have their own type of presence and their sounds would mesh well IMO.

Also a 90% chance there's a transition to different beat at some point on their track.

I'm sitting here watching Blade Runner right now on BBC America.

The influence is obvious. Color scheme of the album artwork and promo stuff, atmosphere and sounds. I know it's been said that he said he was influenced by it but now I really see it as opposed to me just guessing it off-hand when the album first dropped.

 

[awwsome]

Yea I caught the Blade Runner influence from the gate, genius film so I'm not surprised, dude has great taste.

Nah man, I def agree that D.D was the perfect MJ song for him to cover, I just didn't want him to cover an MJ song. MJ is one of those artists that's untouchable in my eyes and as big as a Weeknd fan as I am, I don't think he did it justice. But I'll also say that Montreal cemented him as THAT ***** in my eyes, son was singing in French about ****, and the beat and melody was perfect. Montreal is still one of my favorite tracks by him, definitely the best track on EOS. But, nonetheless, repped big homie.



A Cudder x Abel track might legit make me cry tears of joy

 

[ill legal operation]

And on the flip I wonder how well Mike would handle the title track "Echoes of Silence"...

...PS4 2k "Lebron vs Jordan" type ****.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thought of this


& your talking dirty to me on the phone it got me here
Cause we both wanted to do this but I could tell that you were scared

Man, I swear he be grabbing **** straight out a young dude's life

EOS as a whole is underrated

 

[quik1987]

Imagine MJ singing outside.

 

[Mister Meaner]

But da "XO" riffs at the end of The Fall though.........

"X-ooooohhhhhhh" "X-OoooooOOOoooooh"

Wish it never stopped.

My memory might be hazy, but that first line is actually "You knew talking dirty to me on the phone would get me here" if I remember correctly.

EOS is indeed pure though

 

[Mister Meaner]

"You knew that talking dirty to me would get me here"

I like the thrill
Nothing's gonna me me feel this real
So baby don't go ho-O-ome
I don't wanna spend tonight alone


Don't you leave my little life

:x :x

So many reckless memories to the soundtrack of EOS...

[a blinkin]

EoS came at a really confusing time in my life. I was trying to get myself in the mindset of being in love/doing whatever it took to get my girl back/wanting to say fdb and keep it pimping. I made no reckless decisions to EoS.

HoB and Thursday, however... I was at my worst.

I've had some of the best sex of my life to HOB.

Haunts me to this day...

Hands down the best album to sex to I've heard in a long, long time.

The party & the after party into coming down... And that last part of coming down when the beat drops out and he's just harmonizing and the chick is speaking Japanese all sexy...

That's that slow motion stroke soundtrack... Steady teasing it, got her losing her mind...

The only song I don't mess with is the last one, "the knowing"... Waaaay too deep, sad, and vengeful.

This dude really says "so I'ma let you taste her... I ain't washing my sins"...
