New music from him (either "Blinding Lights", "Heartless" or both) will be out tomorrow night. |

It seems that "Heartless" will be out tomorrow and "Blinding Lights" on Friday. The latter is part of the campaign with Mercedes Benz. |

Was wondering when he'd be back. I'm expecting him to dominate the charts then when the album is released. Hoping for either a repeat of very early Trilogy sounds or something like Starboy would be passable too ~

This is awful, just horrendous. I can't believe that I liked him back in the day, and a lot! I guess we all change.

Heard a leak of Blinding Lights out on Friday and it's actually really, really good! Mad 80s synth vibes, and I'm pretty sure that's the one that's getting a push.

So I see that this era will also be completely shit judging by both of the songs. Fun.

'Heartless' is sooooo disappointing. He has done that song 6 times before an better. Also, the lyrics are a bit of a snooze. He really opened himself up on 'My Dear Melancholy' and this seems so degenerate in comparison.

'Blinding Lights' is a little better but still... disappointing.

I'm liking both of these way more than I expected tbh (wasn't really that impressed by anything I heard from 'My Dear Melancholy,', 'Lost In The Fire' was complete garbage and 'Power Is Power' was just a much weaker version of 'Pray For Me' so it's been a while since I've really been enthusiastic about The Weeknd) - 'Blinding Lights' is definitely the better of these two, loving the 80s vibes! 'Heartless' is good too if a little similar to a lot of his other singles (that instrumental is great tho) x

They're not as bad as I expected either. Neither are amazing but I do like both to an extent, Blinding Lights a bit more than the other one. They do sound like they could just be lifted from Starboy though.

'Heartless' has gone to #1 in the US in its first full week (his fourth #1 following 'Can't Feel My Face', 'The Hills' and 'Starboy')
 The points needed to get to #1 have been very low the last few weeks but even so I didn't realise The Weeknd was doing well enough to get there. 'Blinding Lights' has debuted at only #11 in comparison, surprised there is such a large gap between them.

"Heartless" might be aided because it came out first and got the radio push, "Blinding Lights" just isn't being played which is gonna hold it back.
