March 30, 20205 yr Author Three new songs ("Nothing Compares", "Missed You" and "Final Lullaby") out tonight at midnight EDT / tomorrow at 5am. BST. @1244332030508199936 @1244368772011397123
March 30, 20205 yr Author New deluxe version with these three new tracks plus the four previously released remixes and the live version of "Scared To Live" out now.
March 30, 20205 yr Wonder if it was always the plan to release those three new tracks now or if it's to help streaming whilst physicals and TV promo are on hold?
March 30, 20205 yr I’m always happy for new Weeknd music but when his album come out just last week and he does this! I’m guessing and hoping these will be just streaming only tracks. If they get added to the actual CD of this when I’ve just bought it I swear :lol:
March 30, 20205 yr The new tracks are all pretty forgettable. They should have just been left off the album completely.
March 30, 20205 yr I’ve caved and bought the three new tracks on iTunes! Will listen to the entire album again with the new tracks later tonight :wub: I will say that The Weeknd IS that Male artist for me though! I just think he’s so talented, such a great singer and I love the switch ups he’s done in both image and musical style too. He deserves all the success that’s going to come his way.
March 30, 20205 yr Wonder if it was always the plan to release those three new tracks now or if it's to help streaming whilst physicals and TV promo are on hold? Personally I think it was probably the plan to perhaps do it later in the year. I don’t think he’d need help keeping his streams up this soon into a campaign. I imagine the album will likely have slightly less of a second week drop to usual though
March 30, 20205 yr Excellent, really happy about that given the below par Heartless got these and BL didn't at first!
March 31, 20205 yr Lmao, I can see why these three tracks were bonus track exscluives. 3 borefests of songs and really not needed. Don't think i'll be returning to them, when the standard album works so well as a complete package.
March 31, 20205 yr Completely agree, I took a listen yesterday and they all sounded exactly the same to me with no real melody. I do quite like some of the remixes, the Blaze version of the title track is a fave.
April 2, 20205 yr (tracks 4-6 were a bit of a lull but it was great before and after that x). I take this back - I've gone back to 'Escape From LA' and 'Snowchild' and they've both grown on me a lot. Actually basically every song on this album has been a grower and that's with me already really liking most of them from first listen anyway lol! ~ 'Scared To Live' is the only song that I'm not super into really (and 'Repeat After Me (Interlude)' / 'Until I Bleed Out' but they work well on the album, just not songs I'd go back to outside of that context). 'Save Your Tears' has emerged as my fave after a few listens and maybe my favourite song ever from The Weeknd, it gives me kind of similar vibes to Post Malone's 'Circles', just seems like an immediately timeless chorus. 'Faith' is a close 2nd though, the outro on that song :wub: Also really enjoying The Blaze's remix of 'After Hours' from the deluxe edition - haven't heard the bonus tracks yet, not gonna have high expectations from the comments in here about them but the album itself is great enough that it doesn't really matter if the bonus songs aren't up to par x Think this is a strong rival to Bombay Bicycle Club for my album of the year so far. <3
April 4, 20205 yr Nothing Compares is fantastic!! And I like Final Lullaby too. I think this is really cohesive tbh. I listened to the 17 track edition today and it flowed very well some tracks even merge into each other Madonna Confessions style.
April 4, 20205 yr Also I really slept on Save Your Tears! That needs to be a single! But I will definitely go back to this as a whole album time and time again. He’s such a talent and his voice :wub: :wub: :wub: I can’t wait to see him on tour. We really need an album Surviour rate for this in a few weeks when the albums more familiar to people although I imagine there’s a clear winner for that.
