I think I'm over Weeknd. Dude's ok. Capable of making really great music, but I'm sick of hearing about him. It's like everyone forgot how much kisssland sucked when he did that 50 shades of grey track.
That last album was good. Quite good. But it aped on MJ too much.
At the Kanye concert, my girlfriend turned to me during Fade and said, stunned, "this is like some Michael Jackson shit" ... she meant the beat, energy, spectacle of it all, not that it soudned like MJ. But she was right. That's the right way to carry on MJ's legacy. Completely replicating his style and sound is the wrong way. In my opinion.
