I wrote a longer post about this earlier but apparently I lost it or something.
I am very much not giving a fuck about Weeknd anymore. At all. He's made some really weird career choices and alienated almost all of his original fans. He used to sound like a pervy neo-soul Portishead. Now he sounds like the lippiest pop ever popped, or a half assed imitation thereof. Kinda gross really. He got mega-popular with a sound that was basically the antithesis of what made him interesting in the first place.
I'm out, Weeknd. Have fun turning into an anime cartoon.

The new album could go either way. But he said it's just a bunch of songs with no storyline or concept and teamed up with Max Martin again so I guess he's going full pop star. He seems to want to brand himself to make sure he stays.
Still, as a longtime fan I think I will always have a soft spot for The Weeknd..
