@ruminationstation42002 жыл бұрын
Her online behavior lately has been super messy and embarrassing, but I don't entirely disagree with her that she's consistently never gotten the credit she's due, because her fanbase is the exact type of women society LOVES to belittle. Most other female artists get a mixture of unfair hate and indignant defense, but Lana was like Ke$ha (before the DR. Luke stuff came out) where it was just universally accepted you were allowed to shit on these women as much as you wanted without even trying to follow it up with something nice about them. And with Ke$ha, it really was mindless pop garbage being pumped out for the sake of hits. But Lana was out there baring her soul and getting treated like a walking punchline As someone who struggled with limerance and being attracted to men who brought out my daddy issues, Lana's music taps into a feeling I feel like is really rare to be acknowledged in mainstream media. It's not love, it doesn't even feel like what you were told love was supposed to feel like, but its all you god damn have so you cling to it to keep from drowning. And you feel like a fool, because you know you're being "messy' and "*that* girl". It reminds me a lot of the backlash the song "prom queen" by beach Bunny got. People who make anthems for broken teenage girls get treated as if they're *encouraging* being broken, as if the only songs for teen girls need to be hearing are "strong empowered anthems". Women who refuse to hide their trauma, who refuse to put up a strong face about it, who admit they feel weak and helpless and stupid a lot.....they're shoved to the side for another generic song that pretends the majority of adult women are doing just fine, actually. Lana is the ANTITHESIS of the trend to push constantly superficial messages of empowered woman, girl bosses, etc She is the traumatized woman laid bare.

@@ruminationstation4200 Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this. And you’re absolutely right. I think that in some ways she’s ALWAYS ahead of her time cause she chooses to look inward, to her muse, to her deepest and oldest influences, to poetry, to literature etc other than to look at what her contemporaries are doing. I think she’s finally getting her flowers for the door she’s opened. Yes, her vulnerability was very “dressed up” and that’s what made people cynical of her. But it’s not any less real, and now the mainstream audience sees it. Her music definitely allowed “fragile” and “damaged” women to find the beauty in their life and realize that it’s okay to not have their shit together all the time. But as Lana evolved to a more mature and wise Lana, the audience saw in her an example of strength. Of someone who bypassed and survived an incredible amount of hate and cynicism. So yeah, you’re absolutely right.

Dawn FM means so much to me. It was released the night following a really hard day. I was sent home from school because I was exposed to covid the day before my school's play (that I had a somewhat large role in) had opening night. Months of work and relationships just crumbled in a matter of minutes, leaving me just as alone as I was when After Hours dropped. I had nothing else to do at home, so I decided to stay up and listen to Dawn FM as it released. The comfort that this music gave me was really strange, as I wouldn't have expected it from The Weeknd of all artists. Anyways, thanks for doing a DDD on The Weeknd, it was a nice reminder of how music has saved me in a lot of situations.

My favourite thing about Abel that few people talk about is how much of a nerd for music and cinema he is. His horror movie influences, his passion for French house (like Daft Punk and Gesaffelstein), the interest in 80's music in general (and not just the obvious artists) - it's all there. For an artist his size, the fact that he doubled down on his influences over the years and brought them to the mainstream proves that he has a genuine interest for them.

I was doing a mini tour of Canadian artists, Starting with Carly Rae Jepson, going to Justin Bieber, and then Abel here (and then got out of Canada and went to Barbados ☂️). A lot of Weeknd songs started to blend in with each other because of the similar content of many of them but it was an interesting time, especially Dawn FM which as a concept was just very interesting. Learning it was Jim Carrey narrating through the album made me go "what?!" lol

Dawn FM was one of my favorite albums to come out recently, and that came as a shock as I was never really into Abel's themes of drugs and despair coupled with the dark production. I know that a lot of people love his older stuff and maybe don't enjoy his recent offerings because of how pop friendly they are, but I think that he reached a good compromise by maximizing this pop appeal and keeping in touch with his earlier themes in a smart way. Anyways, The Weeknd is a very interesting artist and his career progression made for a good retrospective. Great vid again Mic! I love the DDD series and can't wait see what's next.

I love that driving bass line, and the bridge before the choruses, the "Take me back cause i wanna stay, save your tears for another" part, especially on the second time around instead of launching into the chorus it kinda jolts back, and repeats the same melody with "I realise that I'm much too late, and you deserve someone better".

The album is a true masterpiece from top to bottom and I think it's lyrically his best too. He tells such a clear, vivid, and direct story about his experiences throughout his first tour. I feel as if it is structured very similarly to House Of Balloons. The first tracks are setting the stage, it really gets deep towards the third quarter with , the songs right before the outro are him "coming off of" the high of the album, and the last song is where he loses control of his emotions and they get the best of him.

His voice was unbelievable and I fell in love with his atmospheric sad beats. I was hooked from that very moment and I haved followed him ever since. At the Superbowl, when the snippet from House of Balloons came on, morphing to the finale with Blinding Lights, it brought me back to that moment and I almost cried ! I do agree After Hours is his best album yet. Anytime he collaborates with Max Martin or Ohneotrix Point Never, they make absolute bangers. I love how the 80's synth sound suits his style and his voice perfectly, and I hope he does continue in the same vein for his next projects.

im in fucking love with dawn fm man. Is currently my most played album by a long shot. The first 9 tracks are all absolute bangers. Even after that the only bits i could have done without was every angel is terrifying and lil waynes rap. Sacrifice imo is the single most infectious groove ive heard this decade. Overall it feels like his most complete project to date, with strong thematic ties, lush production, awesome instrumentals, and a clear narrative arc.

This was one that I suggested. The Weeknd is honestly one of my favorite artists and I’m glad that I started to listening to his music at the right time of my life (especially when I listen to HOB last year) and he honestly hasn’t put out a bad project (even with weaker projects like MDM and Kiss Land) my favorite Weeknd song is Die for you, and my top three favorite Weeknd projects are 3. Dawn FM, 2. After Hours and 1. House of Balloons
@matthewbanton70772 жыл бұрын
genuinely shocked that some people consider Kiss Land one of his 'weaker projects' - to me it's his second best and an astonishingly high 9/10, with Live For being the only song preventing it from being a 10. respect your opinion and all, but I think that album is just insanely under-appreciated
@angie-jo1mn2 жыл бұрын
Kiss Land and MDM is 100% NOT his weaker projects. Let's just say NONE of his projects is weak. REAL XO fans all know what's his top best work.

Great video. For me, Dawn FM is Abel's best album yet. It's so catchy and the flow is amazing, I just can't stop listening ever since it came out, something that has not happened with his previous projects.

Thursday is my favorite Abel project, people don't realize this but Abel tells the most enchanting story in this mixtape through his lyrics. I think this mixtape encapsulates who The Weeknd was and is. The tracks on the mixtape take you through a story and the lyricism is just heartbreakingly beautiful. The instrumentals on the Title track Thursday, the story of The Birds, and the message to the audience through Rolling Stone, the ego track Heaven or Las Vegas(with a hint to his father) and the vocals on Valerie. He put his whole heart and soul into this project and seeing him do this so early in his career made me fall in love with him.

The first song I heard of this man was The Fall. It was playing in a radio when I was a toddler. And the very next year my father took me to a vinyl shop where lots of vinyls were being sold and Trilogy was one of the best-selling there. It was super-expensive, and I always used to see how my father's senior executive officers used to buy that album with so much passion in their hearts. Lol they laughed at me when I said that I also wanted to buy that album, because..... you know, those NSFW lithograph pictures in the booklets, the drugs and the sex and all in his lyrics!! But that doesn't mean I don't like his newer stuff!

My very first song I heard from him was Losers. I was super into it and was told that it was a unreleased song that "he only played live at that apple music show". Imagine my surprise to find it on madness. I had a memory from high school the other day when my friend told me the Weeknd got a haircut and how that felt like big news. And it brought me to listen to after hours again four the first time in a while. And I'm sure I speak for many people that that album was a big soundtrack to the memories in quarantine: playing warzone and never sleeping.
