Because Gasseflstein had like 3 of the songs already finished on his own, as a music producer. It's what makes the industry move fast. They have music stashed on their computers like if it's their proof of weddings done in their wedding catalog to show their potential costumers. You have to stay prepared as a producer, wether its showing your catalog to an "Artist" or creating a song from scratch for the artist on the spot. Weeknd didn't produce any of these instrumentals lol. These are all Gasseflstein's signature sample pack drums, synth sound design, and way of producing for years. Weeknd just had every part of the song structured perfectly tailored to his vocals. He just felt the emotion of the music and poured his heart out on these masterpieces of Gesaffelstein. Great Music Producer , great mixing engineer, and Great singer, of course. And together you got this great album. It's never your favorite "artist" making everything lmao

Your reaction at 5:37 is all of us!!! You need to watch his music videos in their release order cause he always completes the album story with the music videos, especially After Hours. I like to know what you think of the story he is trying to tell. Keep it up; you're doing fantastic! P.s: Due to Selena's Lupus Diagnosis, Abel possibly wanted to donate one of his kidneys to save her life. ("I almost cut a piece of myself for your life")

this ep literally does break you if going thru a breakup. it's such raw emotion. i was never there is one of the most sadly crafted vocal parts. one of the greatest components in his discography. severely underrated, under-discussed release. i had a short-lived phase of getting high, just weed, and i was listening to this and the sadness was not only magnified but it was like, handed to me and put in my heart. i felt it so deeply. you can hear in his voice, he's really singing what he's feeling and feeling what he's singing. it's sincere. it's gessaffelstein producing and he does use that classic 90's westcoast synth but much louder than traditionally. hear his track hellifornia for reference, which is a sore thumb on the album it's from. but yeah, more or less the same sound. it's not weird that you want to give him a hug and make sure he's okay 😂 it's really that dark and sad.

All of the ideas you set out at the start are something id be intrested in watching. However, if you choose to react to the music videos I would suggest watching the After Hours era videos seperately becuase of their expansive world building that i think deserves thier full intended runtime. Also, I'd quite like you to look into relistening to Starboy since its an album I find people consider quite a departure from the rest of his discog. Plus, id love to see a teir list of maybe even your opinions of each era of The Weekns releases in line with your old for content (love the billboard video BTW!! :)). All sounds intresting!!
