can’t wait for kissland

Fun Fact: The opening track, “Lonely Star,” begins with pitched-up vocals that were a source of speculation at the time. In a 2015 Pitchfork interview, the Toronto singer said that while the intro uses his voice, it’s heavily inspired by Lana Del Rey.“ The whole monologue intro on ‘Lonely Star’ from Thursday-I just realized now that that’s Lana. That’s Lana’s voice,” said The Weeknd. “I mean, it’s my voice pitched up, but it’s her, it’s who she is.” As The Weeknd further explained, he and Del Rey had been friends for a long time and served as inspirations in each other’s music. “I feel like we’ve always been talking to each other through our music. She is the girl in my music, and I am the guy in her music,” he explained. “It’s just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on [Beauty Behind the Madness].” In addition to inspiring each other, The Weeknd and Del Rey are frequent collaborators. Lana appears on “Prisoner” from his aforementioned 2015 album, Beauty Behind the Madness, as well as The Starboy cuts, “Party Monster” and “Stargirl Interlude.” The Weeknd returned the favor in 2017 on “Lust for Life

Valerie being in your top 5 is so real, that song is absolutely amazing

In rolling stone the “girl” he is talking to is actually a metaphor for his fans... at this point in his career he was an experimental underground artists but he knows to be successful he’s going to have to go more mainstream. He says “I think I’ll be different and I hope you’ll still listen, but until then I got you”

gone is so underrated

I'm dying every time Abel says something toxic your friend is like: FIREEE 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥🔥🔥😤😤👹👹👹🌋🌋🌋🌋

Please don’t forget to do Kissland . My favorite

Echoes Of Silence reaction is gonna be insane. That is my fav mixtape too along with House Of Balloons. That one goes really dark and The Weeknd shows his character's true fucked up nature.

i’m so glad that you guys did like the least amount of cuts while listening. It was like i was there reacting with you guys and not just a reaction vid with a bunch of cuts.

XO🖤 y'all killed it with this reaction 😂👏👏 My favorite songs off of Thursday are, Thursday The Birds pt 1&2 The Zone Life of the Party Lonely Star and of course VALERIE!! You guys the best 50 minutes on a Thursday reaction💯💯🎶🎵🎶🎵

comin in clutch with the bonus track too

Y’all needa go through his whole discography. The vibe and style of the music changes throughout his career but the subject matter pretty much stays the same other than like My Dear Melancholy. But his music is just so unbelievably good.

rolling stone is about him and his relation with his fan base

Hey thanks for the offer to buy me some tickets to see Abel but me and hubby saw him last year which is a once in a lifetime opportunity 😅 but yous should save that money you do make off your channel and go see him live in concert whenever Abel decides to do another tour again which sadly might not be for a very long while once he's done with the rest of the 2nd leg of the tour. Please go see him live at least once in your lifetime. The experience you'll have will be one of the greatest times of your life💯 the energy from the Stadium was like one big fckn party!

tuned in. Praying for 10 k 🎉

was waiting for this since house of ballon’s

I think he meant drugs when he said meet my boys because the whole song is about getting fucked up by drugs

Haven’t seen anyone point it out yet but in Birds pt. 2 at the beginning of the track the girl shoots herself.

Valerie and Thursday are metaphorical. The girl, Valerie, is representative of the XO fan base and Thursday is the day of the week that's closest to the weekend or "The Weeknd". It's a cautionary tale of what happens to those who live the night life/party lifestyle portrayed in House of Balloons.
