Biography

 

Wilkinson has cemented himself as one of the most successful stars in global dance music. Following countless club anthems he released 'Half Light' charting #20, Dirty Love which peaked at #10 and the Platinum selling ‘Afterglow’ which landed at #8 on the UK Chart. To date he's sold 4 million singles and been streamed over half a BILLION times! His debut album 'Lasers Not Included' went to number 1 on the official Dance Chart and his tour schedule takes him across the globe performing everywhere from Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds to EDC Las Vegas and his Ibiza residency at Amnesia. He’s gone on to build a fierce live reputation over the last 6 years, selling out London's Roundhouse and Brixton Academy three times! Having remixed & collaborated with the likes of RagNBone Man, The Prodigy, Wretch32 and Becky Hill, he's scooped ‘Best Single’, ‘Best Album’, ‘Best Video’ & ‘Best Producer’ at the National D&B Awards. His second, album ‘Hypnotic’ (April 2017) became the most successful D&B album of the year, winning him an army of loyal supporters & some unlikely fans from the likes of Skrillex & even Elton John! 2020 saw Wilkinson team up with fellow D&B titan Sub Focus to release their collab album ‘Portals’. The record charted at #1 on the Official Dance Chart & saw all 3 singles playlisted by Radio1. 2022 has seen the release of his 4th album ‘Cognition’ including hit singles ‘Used To This’ and ‘Here For You’. - Spotify

The Wilkinson track is pretty pleasant! BMW is...okay I suppose? Could be worse, the rapping jars less than on Don't You Worry About Me.

Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - Apple Music

i wonder who they're gonna skip later on as they're playing quite a few of the tracks from the bottom of the chart!
I totally forgot Wilkinson had two top 40 singles following Afterglow, I don't remember either of those. :o Glad this one wasn't pushed out of the top 40!

Dirty Love wasn't much to rave about but do check out Half Light, that was almost as good as Afterglow!
