I don't think anybody in 2011 expected The Weeknd to come back and recreate the brilliance of House of Balloons, but man did he defy expectations with Thursday.
This project widens our view of The Weeknd's world. It doesn't focus on The Weeknd's character, but his partners, his puppets... his victims. And it's shocking. This video runs through that narrative and helps us see ourselves in the manipulation of The Weeknd, and how we can apply it in our own lives.
Huge SHOUTOUT to one of my most significant role models for music dissection, Myke C-Town. Attached is the clip I used of him talking about Abel. Appreciate you my guy!

What do you think of this record? Let's talk about it in the comments!
Thanks so much for watching. Every subscriber/viewer means a lot to me, and I appreciate every like and comment. Let me know what you think about the video or the album and I'd love to have a discussion in the comments! Music is meant to be discussed to assimilate ideas and to grow as people.

I am a Christian and student and I made this channel when I was in high school. I started this channel because I love talking about music (specifically hip hop) and given that the genre seems to be going downhill, I want to be part of the community that preserves the expectation of great music and dissecting what makes a beautiful record. Dealing with a lack of friends to discuss these matters with, I hoped to start my own community that loves music just as I do, as well as to provide a unique perspective as a follower of Christ that also appreciates this community. I appreciate everyone who watches and I am truly happy to see anybody comment their thoughts on a project I talk about.
Put "LONELY STAR" as your comment if you read the description!
As always, thank you very much for watching and taking time out of your day to discuss music with me, God bless. Isaiah 55:8-12
