Thrice· editedyeah, I also reckon i need to accept that his music isn't for me anymore, I'll always appreciate the visuals and aesthetics but i'd be lying to myself if i said his recent work moves me like it used to. and it has nothing to do with Trilogy. I loved Secrets and Die For You with Doc Mckinney for example, two of his greatest songs in my opinion.
what i find quite disappointing (and maybe i'm being controversial here), is that you have this gifted black man, with a very unique black soulful voice making predominantly white music, what the f*** is that all about?. I mean he's literally making Wham-esque 80's music and no one even dares to mention it, there's nothing wrong with experimenting and venturing into different genres (he did it with Doc Mckinney) but put some soul into it, some of your heritage, who you are. most of his out-put seems to be catered to white folks for the majority, unless its a pop/trap song.
I swear Max Martin used to make more "blacker" music for his white artists back in the day, with Abel it seems to be the opposite. I swear if i didn't know it was him on Save your tears i'd think it was Duran Duran.
This is a great conversation right here. I agree with a lot of what you saying.

HeelKyloI said to each their own. Why are you dragging this out? Enjoy the music you enjoy and interpret it the way want.
You quoted me and since you and others mocked me and people like feel like me, I felt inclined to respond accordingly with my opinion and points. If you dont want to have the conversation, or not interested to, then you can stop dragging it on yourself. :)

Reading comprehension is so important man. Or maybe you’re being willingly dense because you got your feelings hurt.
Either way your talking points have been ran through a million times. You aren’t saying anything new that every current weeknd disliker is saying.
“Over produced” that’s the f***ing point. This isn’t meant to be some lofi album.

“Weak song writing” your name is La Flame. Lets not pretend like you actually care about great song writing. That style wouldn’t have worked on this project anyways. On top of that R&B has never been about great song writing so I don’t know why you’re coming to the genre looking for that.

Yeah, but you also have to remember someone like Prince had creative freedom over most of s***. Since he was making all that s*** and could play every instrument and so on. He fought with the label about other stuff. More political stuff behind the scenes.
I think with the label investing so much and putting so much stock into him they bring in people like Max Martin. Spend a lot of money on making sure they have the singles, the promotion and so for it to not fail commercially. The music sound good, but it is like you say. It is pretty empty. Soul-less. if you really listening to it. It is more like a formula and like a machine working. More than artistry, something dope or creative.
Some the music is like good mid, but it is still mid.

A machine working wouldn’t have put them OD lyrics on the album
If a machine was the driving force behind this project it would have came out like Changes or Future Nostalgia. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

If anything you got your feelings hurt.
Also, you not responding to anything I have said. Saying my points has been said a million times is not answering to any of the points being made or @Thrice.
No s***, IT ISNT MEANT TO SOME LOFI ALBUM. I been said that. Where is your reading comprehension?
Ok. What does that tweet mean? That is just promotional tweet about his new s***. Why wouldnt he be excited? This is profession and product. He gotta sell it.
My name La Flame has actually nothing to do with Travis, if that is what you wanna get at. I like Travis though, so it is cool.

How you gonna say I didn’t reply to any point you made then go on to discuss the refutes I made to your points?
This is supposed to sound cinematic. Yet you’re making that point like it’s a knock on the project.
