Eóghan Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I genuinely think this is a bad career path he's taking. sticking to synth-pop/dance like he did with Dawn FM has proven unfruitful, he doesn't have the juice anymore. He's should've gone back to his R&B alternative sound, his first love and inspiration. Or at least mesh it with pop like he did on After Hours. but even then it would feel like a retread. I know he's doin a trilogy but he's just damaging his brand at this point. He's lucky he had the singles from The Idol to keep him afloat. 10 1

I agree and I wouldn't necessarily call that a bad thing, nobody stays on top forever. He's had an amazing run so far. There's bound to be repetition or even a setback at some point. This one isn't lost (yet) and if he gets back on track sometime this era or the next one, he'll kick off a new successful streak. Maybe take some time off and move away from this now tired sound. 1
DutchKing Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I love The Weeknd, but this song could also be on DawnFM and i dont see any growth unfortunately. Hopefully the other songs are better!

Feanor Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Yeah this song is a non-starter, a pity cause it's good. 1
TayDuaStan Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Honestly, what he deserves… We wanted that Anitta collab, not this mess

shark_heather Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I think he did a massive mistake He should have released Sao Paolo straight after the concert and the full album last Friday and send this to radio and whatever happens He could have had a big album debut , Sao Paolo would give a huge boost and this would have been a slow radio burner Now im afraid he is going to flop hard ( for his standards ) 1
needs Posted September 16 Posted September 16 The way babygirl just gets more and more uninteresting. At least he's retiring "The Weeknd" because I think he has potential to do much more exciting things as Abel Tesfaye, it's been time for that and I think he should have closed this era with Dawn FM instead of this album. The aesthetic, themes, etc. are boring atp. Nonetheless the music is not bad and it never really is with him. 1

These type of lyrics are so Starboy-esque. It's like Ordinary Life part 2. If an artist wants to do a trilogy then fine, but that doesn't mean keep the exact same sound. It really make sense why After Hours and Dawn FM were sonically different, but DITF sounds no different than Dawn. Even if he slightly went back to his darker sound it would be enough to feel fresh.
ariesgroove Posted September 16 Posted September 16 this isn't bad but it really is just…..there like hope the album has a lot more to offer 1
bad guy Posted September 16 Posted September 16 This is so soulless and gives album track After Hours was so innovative and a blend of his old style with the new, and while there's a 2-3 songs on Dawn FM that have that too everything since has been a dud to me. He is far too focused on numbers and not on artistry and it shows. Maybe he has nothing to really talk about and is just relying on Max for most of this. Either way as a fan, he's been losing me for the last few years. 1 1
ohjulia Posted September 17 Posted September 17 Well, I personally really liked it. I just find his voice so soothing and I'm a sucker for his lyrics. 4

Riverbank Posted September 17 Posted September 17 So is this where we claim the song is a palette cleanser?
