thanks for letting us know.I thought my shit was f'ed up... still good content
@@japzzz009 I honestly prefer the new angle, I think it's really cool with the zoomed out lens and a bit of a lower angle
Focus is def tough for watching but still appreciate the video. Keep them coming
Love how Dad said "the one who does the slow, depressing stuff" and Connor immediately knew it was Lana Del Rey
I just realized that from you saying that and omg is that hilarious

They are one of the best concerts, you can not go but just seeing them from the screen, I know it was surprising
💗❤️💌💘
Less Than Zero is the star for me on this album. It’s so melancholic and odd to me. First time I heard it I didn’t know whether to cry or dance. So depressingly joyous and beautiful
I cried on the first listen.... lmao
At first I read that as you giving the album a 1 Star review and was concerned.
gasoline, how to make you love me, out of time , dont break my heart easy
Exactly it’s kind of bittersweet
I cried AND dance, perfect combo
The transitions in this album is phenomenal and everything flows well. Next thing you know, you already listened throughout the whole album
Exactly! It feels like listening to one full song
Now I wish the album was longer lol
And the awesome part is if you put the album on loop it automatically loops to the beginning of the album, the last seconds of song transitions back to the first song
Omg this album is dangerous on acid.....it loops perfectly......listened to it 5 times before I even noticed " wait wtf!!!!!!......" pure perfection
48:40 “This is such a stadium song” man if only you knew, hearing Less than Zero literally makes my eyes watery thinking about the way FedEx Stadium felt with him performing live…….. HANDS DOWN the best performer of my generation and i’ll stand on that in my grave
The tour was SO GOOD. HE NEEDS TO REDO THE US LEG JUST FOR US
I WAS THERE TOO
Waiting him enters in the world touring fase. Rio de Janeiro Brasil 🇧🇷🌎✈️
I was there too!! Dc was lit
I was there too and it was crazy
definitely would love to see an after hours reaction given how synth heavy that album is as well with literally flawless production
YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSS
Yes please
unpopular opinion but i prefer dawn fm over after hours..
@@pddimez8485 AMEN
@@pddimez8485 mainstream would disagree but synth/80s lovers would agree
Less than zero really feels like a very beautiful ending where everyone is just dancing around and waving their hands to the sky
it does feel very freeing. Maybe not happy lyrically but it makes you feel good and uplifted
If someone told me the Weeknd will make a song like this in 2016 I would never believe him, kinda shows how far the Weeknd has progressed
@@sarabjitmander3085 yes that’s why I hate all the ppl saying he needs to go back to the depressing sound , like damn let him go into as much genres as he pleases
@@HORCHATA777SUBSCriBE lol they don't realise that the Weeknd will become irrelevant if he went back to that style we all already heard that side of his discography glad to see he isn't paying attention to them and doing what he feels like
It sounds like a song that you and your friends would blast in the car while driving on a long highway at night.
best concert experience 10/10 everyone has to see the weeknd perform live.
Saw him in Detroit!!! Phenomenal live and the best concert I’ve ever been to!
Just saw him in Dallas insane live
@Hassan it was my first concert too and literally i’ve thought the same thing
Just saw him in Dallas and yes I agree 100%
Yep sure did! On July 16th we saw him at Metlife Stadium! FUN FUN FUN 💯🎉🎉🔥🔥🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
On Out of Time he sampled Midnight pretenders by Tomoko Aran. If you guys haven't listened to any City pop I would highly recommend it. It was a genre that was popular in the 70's and 80's in Japan. It was a fusion of soft rock, R&B, and Funk and it has had a huge impact on the internet. It helped create Future Funk and Vaporwave
one of my favourite japanese city pop songs of all time, it was crazy hearing the sample on this album
u got any recommendations ?
@@ayubsaed2898 anything by Arni, Tomoko Aran, Mariya Takeuchi, and Taeko Onuki are great artist to start with. Plastic Love is the most popular song and it's a great place to start too
@@ayubsaed2898 check out tasogare by mai yamane, telephone number by junko ohashi, 4 am by taeko ohnuki, watashitachi o shinjite ite by cindy
future funk more so, Vaporwave was a lot more conceptual
Your dad is spot on with recognizing the thriller influences on sacrifice. In the music video there are references to the thriller music video.
They need to listen to Because The Internet
@@doctortedums607 second this.
@@doctortedums607 I commented this on another video, I think Kevin would love to experience gambinos progression as an artist
The beginning is just like You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 😍
i love your pfp
This journey through The Weeknd's discography is going to be nothing short of magical. It's good you're introducing your dad to Abel with his newer music before you guys jump back into his more darker/grittier sound with HOB/Thursday/EOS.
Such chill music and The Weeknd is so talented
The Weeknd mixtapes versus his studio albums are like two different artists. I enjoy plenty of his commercial hits, but I really miss the "old" Weeknd prior to Beauty Behind The Madness when he was mysterious and relatively unknown
Totally agree, if they go back the pop influence almost disintegrates.
hahaha I couldn't imagine critically listening to trilogy with my parents 💀💀
@@bedsheets1867 right
"My Dear Melancholy," is another great underrated Weeknd album
W
Mdm is an ep not an album
Underrated for sure!!😢
MJ would be so proud man. This whole album was an experience from front to back. The Jim Carrey poem at the end resonated with me so much and made me a little emotional
The Michael Jackson influences are so heavy on this album. He sounds just like him in Out Of Time (the new Human Nature).
just my opinion but i think that’s the only song i hear michael’s influence
His whole career
I think Sacrifice especially gives off MJ vibes. Especially with the Quincy Jones feature on the album, the Michael Jackson influence is undeniable
Just compare the beginning of Sacrifice with You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'!
He talks about how much he hates being compared to Michael Jackson, he doesn't hate on him. I wish people would stop saying that because he is The Weeknd. Not Michael Jackson.
Your dad mentioned "Blade Runner 2049" which is extremely interesting because The Weeknd loves Blade Runner and even has a song titled after one of the original movie's classic scenes "Tears in the Rain" on his album Kiss Land, which is also extremely reminiscent of the Blade Runner atmosphere.
Kiss Land is so underrated
Kissland imo is his best album I hope they review it
@@tonin5047 Agreed. In my top two Weeknd albums and just one of my favorite albums in general
@@sv4940 I hope they review all of his albums tbh
@@sv4940 House of Balloons is my favorite project by him i think, along After Hours
This album is just a piece of art. I am 55 years old. And yes - definitely brings me back to the 80s. But beyond that. Can’t wait to see him in concert.
The show is incredible! It's awesome that your name is Dawn as well lol
how was the concert ?
Weeknd's vision is great this album suits to every age group
This album has Daft Punk's Random Access Memories written all over it and I'm so happy to have another album like this after almost 10 years.
Uh put some respect on daft punk album. That is a classic the weeknd is a ripoff of Michael Jackson.
@@davidmckesey7119 Have you actually listened to this album mate?
@@davidmckesey7119 the fuck
@@davidmckesey7119 Find God
Yeah it is.although RAM doesn't have the transition in between songs, the storytelling in a tale by quincy may be inspired from giorgio by moroder in RAM.some of synths,beats and arrangement from dawn fm also could be inspired from RAM.damn it i wish Daft Punk still making good music like the old days.
out of time is one of the weeknds best songs he’s ever made . amazing project
The amount of times I have listened to that song is not Good 😭😭😭😭 reminds me of rock with you by mj
Thanks to the sample
@@rosacemvila7521 Midnight Pretenders is an absolute banger
citypop goes hard
I've had a whole week now with Dawn FM and DS4EVER and tbh I've listened to Dawn FM a lot more than Gunna's final instalment to Drip Season.
Abel's commentary on this album:...”picture the album being like the listener is dead. And they're stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And while you're stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however, you want to make it feel, but that's what 'The Dawn' is for me."
Your dad saying Less Than Zero is going to be a stadium song…fast forward to the tour and just watch footage from when he performs this song.
Crowd interaction, the lights, the performance.
All those elements combined and you get exactly what your dad is talking about.
Hearing this song live, this past month. I felt it when this song was performed.
The emotions that went through me man, they were great.
Your dad hit it on the mark before we knew it.
Them not knowing how good the transition from Best Friends to Is There Somebody Else KILLS ME
Can't believe Kevin dropped "I'm craving his low part" and "I wanna feel him go deep" in less than 30 seconds and didn't even say pause. King
My absolute favorite track is phantom regret by jim, it's so beautifully worded and delivered. I'm shocked that more people aren't talking about it.
spot on. on god that is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard, unbelievable. i think for reactors, its not really mentioned as its own moment as its the album closer, so their heads are overwhelmed with final thoughts on the project rather than the track alone. but a lot of us xo have been talking about how good it is elsewhere
I think it's great but I think it's just not so much of a "track" that's why people don't talk about it much, because it's just spoken and the outro of the album...
Edit: I'm not saying that just spoken things can't be songs or tracks, but i just mean it's obviously a reason why it's one of the least played tracks on the album
We are. I believe UA-cam is not as lit as other social media cus its all I see on Twitter and Instagram.
I couldn't agree more. So good and I try to tell everyone about it haha
@@antonhilbig795 agreed, it is a beautiful moment, especially after the whole story the album tells, but you ain't gonna be seeing me put this in my playlist
I was violently hìgh when I listened to this album for the first time and it was the greatest experience ever
Music is always better lit
Starry eyes is so underrated. It gets me so emotional, such a beautiful song!! Especially when listening with good headphones.
Exactly the little erie rithm that Plays throughout the song reminds me of the movie Halloween
Honestly same, my personal fave on the album is is there someone else but the transition from that to starry eyes is unbelievable and then the vocals
On starry eyes, heavenly
super underrated
The Weeknd made a great decision to put the Extended version of Take My Breath on the album
agreed x10000
It's the best version.
It would be pretty cool if you played the whole Weeknd discography to your dad, Abel has such a diverse sound on every single record
They should go through it backwards from this to house of balloons it's kinda a wild ride
When he gets to Trilogy, it's a wrap.
I think doing the albums backwards would be a great listen.
@@donovanfisher322 Yea Conor is doing a great job in navigating his father through the music...totally agree.
this is such cap all of the weekend sounds the same
Your father is so musically educated, notices everything!! We need AFTER HOURS reaction!!!! Love your channel!! BIG LOVE FROM KAZAKHSTAN !!
Te crees gracioso
а ты с какого города?)
I feel like your dad would love Beauty Behind the Madness. Such a timeless album and so many hits on it.

majority of Out Of Time is actually a sample of an 80s japanese city pop song called Midnight Pretenders by Tomoko Aran! awesome song in itself
Thank you! I listened to this album with my sister and she says, it's from a japanese song but had forgotten which song it was.
ive litterally listened to this album so many times over the last month its now my most played of about the last year
nevermind all the reactions
Revisiting the album several months later it really gets better with time. Really up there as one of the best albums of all time. No skips cos as a body of work it’s a masterpiece.
It dosent have the best songs in the weeknds discoraphy but the album as a whole is more than a album. Its a exprience. The story is just so good
Abel said it’s part 2 of the trilogy after hours and now dawn fm who knows what the next album is going to be

I'm so happy you guys started getting into The Weeknd's discography. He's such an amazing artist and can't wait for more with him as his music gets wildly different
Love the Linkin Park logo. Even though I've gone through so many different music journeys across genres, I can still always come back to Linkin Park
I would love to see some Linkin park reaction
@@ImDeluxeSP33some Yeah, Linkin Park are one of my favourite bands of all time. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't have branched out into other genres, but they were so good at genre blending that I essentially transitioned through them, and I really wish they'd come back, of course when they're ready. It won't be the same, but it'll still be good
Being born in the 80s this album brings me so much joy. The Weeknd is an amazing artist. The vocals, the lyrics and the production, Jim Carrey as the radio host: perfection. Loved your reaction and commentary.
When I heard Less than Zero live it was so surreal and such an amazing moment to experience, if you have not seen The Weeknd live it’s a must have fs
it was amazing
I’m tuning in specifically for sexual innuendos now
too many comments from you lately
We’re all craving his low part
Are you following me?
@@mooremusic4394 I think you’re following me
@@Bandstand mission accepted
absolutely love “The Weeknd”. this album just has a different feel and it’s amazing. highly recommend “House Of Balloons” to get into the original The Weeknd.
Weeknd not Weekend
The fact that you recommended House of Balloons but still called him "The Weekend" instead of The Weeknd is really funny to me for some reason
yes ik spell check caught me ok🙄
Right that’s how I got to know and love him back then… this new album feels more like the old stuff. Finally 😍😍😍 that’s the weeknd for me
Yeah, trilogy era was something else
Part of the beauty of this album is how the song seamlessly transition from one to the next. Hope he can listen to this in its entirety.
Fun fact: The background music was sample out of a song from 1983 called “Midnight Pretenders” by a Japanese artist named Tomoko Aran. It’s a part of a old and underrated genre called “Japanese City Pop”. And now Abel revived this genre from the dead! Thanks Abel!
Japanese city pop is so underrated
Wasn’t expecting this one! Love when both of you guys get to experience a album the first time.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time! Loved listening to it again with you guys. Got the shivery shivers right when you did 😌🙏

I just saw Abel a couple days ago at the SoFi Stadium and Less than Zero was literally heavenly, to see all the blue lights twinkle, and everyone singing along with lasers all around me I almost cried. It wasn’t even one of my favorite songs but now it is 🥹
Just wanna say how much I appreciate your videos. My girlfriend has a hard time connecting with the music I love so much which often are the albums you review. I had this on last night and she couldn't keep her eyes off and was really loving the video. The first time I put this album on she hated it, but after watching your reactions and comments on the album it totally changed her mind and we ended up having a lengthy discussion about music which never happens. You guys are the best, I admire your relationship and how you go through albums. Much love from Ontario!
Wow. I love that. I think alot of people don't think music cures the soul at least helps us to navigate in life. Connects our soul and creat bond and love.
My husband not a big Weeknd only bcus he's not familiar with newer music from this generation he likes the old stuff ,so do I of course. and when he I told him one night about going to his concert he said " you wanna go, We'll go" I cried my eyeballs out cus he saw how much of an impact Weeknd has in my life and cures my soul. Soon as tickets go up we getting 2 just for us❤ the last time I wanted to got to a Weeknd concert was 2017 and I couldn't bcus I had just given birth and never gave it thought after that lol.
Sorry so long! Just glad your and your girlfriend connect with music doesn't matter what kind 👍
XO Jersey girl❤
Weeknd songs are like wine, more you listen more you enjoy
@Yeehaw Wait people hate the Weeknd?
love this
it's been played on repeat since it's dropped. Absolutely beautiful album. I just want to have it playing all the time
Edit: Watch The Dawn FM Experience. The thing on Prime Video. I don't know how, but he elevated this album to another level.
I agree, probably his best work yet
The only album in the past 5+ years that I've thoroughly enjoyed front to back all the way through. Plus, the meaning behind it is so incredible. Being stuck in traffic in Purgatory, waiting to reach the end. Giving you that time to look back and reflect on life. Amazing.
@@squillz8310 agreed. Plus the fact the fact that weeknd himself is stuck in this purgatory. Songs represent earlier regrets from his life, ending with less than zero which proves he has indeed NOT let go of all his regret. By the end of phantom regret in the last seconds there are birds chirping, exactly the same as the first seconds of dawn fm. So he’s stuck in the purgatory being forced to go through and experience all his regrets again, again and again until he finally let’s go and can go to heaven.
This album sincerely is a masterpiece
@@ADavid-oc4de 😂😂😂
@@squillz8310 Go give after hours a listen
I love how dad lived in a musical generation where he can appreciate the sound production. I grew up in the 80’s so I know how he feels.
I hate saying an album needs a good set of speakers or headphones to listen to but this album is so BEAUTIFULLY produced that it needs a high quality sound system to just enjoy all of the incredible nuances to each song. I think I sort of wrote this album off when it first came out because I tried to listen to it on Airpods on a busy street while walking an easily distracted puppy lol This album deserves your full attention to really appreciate how damn perfect it is sonically.
I wish I had a cool dad like this that I could just sit down and appreciate music with
This is a 52 minute album that feels like 30 minutes. My favorite album of his yet
@M M it’s definitely not for everyone. But it’s his most critically acclaimed album to date, the quality is undeniable even tho some ppl won’t like it
@M M re-listen to it a couple of times it may grow on you. that's what I did and I slowly started liking this album.
@M M i guess thas ur opinion but this album is really good though i do prefer kiss land, after hours and trilogy over this
@M M for me his weakest albums are starboy and mdm starboy just felt too long for me it could've easily been shorter by removing some of those weaker tracks like false alarm and mdm wasnt as strong as everything else hes dropped all that said i still love those albums
BRO YES. I love this album especially Less than zero
honestly I like seeing the both of you react to an album for the first time, especially this one, since its amazing
Loved the reaction and the chemistry between you two. Incredibly enjoyable. Thanks for putting this together!
hell yeah! i’m so excited to see him react to some weeknd he needs to listen to house of balloons and trilogy in general i think he’d really appreciate the depth and musicality again love the commentary as always :)

This is so important to me guys... Weeknd is my all time favorite artist and it breaks my heart that i don't have my father anymore to sat down and listen this masterpiece with him.
This video is the closest i will get to feel like that, thank you.
holy shit thats heavy, sorry to hear that. glad abel is abel to bring you joy tho, fuckin xotwod
My condolences man. I'm sure he's lookin down jammin out with you whenever you bump this. Sending much love.

gosh I love this reaction, kevin is so excited over the synths and abel’s voice and the music! he really helps me get in touch with the joy I feel listening to music. eternally grateful you decided to share this journey with us
artists that had a heavy influence on this album were a lot of big 80s names. Simon and Garfunkel, Sade, Donna Summers, Giorgio moroder, and music from flashdance. he captured the era perfectly and added a bleak / uplifting concept to the music.
Can't forget Michael Jackson, either
@@onenightinkyoto2633 facts
Huge Depeche mode vibes as well as Orchestral manoeuvres in the dark. New wave and synth pop executed to perfection
the biggest inspo is mj lol
The weekend is a sellout and this channel is one too. Just doing pop artists. Is the weekend hip hop now. How about reacting to classic hh albums. Fake channel
HERE'S MY TAKE ON THE CONCEPT: since a lot of the musical and lyrical ideas feel very similar to his other albums regarding falling in love and losing someone... here's how i take this. the weeknd is the purgatory's dj and entertainment even in old age, unable to find peace and forever forced to sit in this loop of musical tragedy where his life and sorrows are washed up and engulfed in dance music, watching the crowds move on to the next life. i feel like it is this very layered concept that has both in-universe implications about the exaggerated character of the weeknd but also meta ideas about that persona and how the fans view it. they constantly never want the character of the weeknd to find peace and to move back to this claustrophobic and harsh world of the trilogy mixtapes. he's stuck in this tragic loop while the world dances around him and people beg to hear more heartbreak and revel in it, while a song like blinding lights that's about him regressing into this obsessive and fame-blinded mindset becomes some amazing hit. that's why the ending of dawn fm makes so much sense especially with the visuals from the livestream: he sheds a single tear as he watches the crowd he entertains with his endless loop of heartbreak move on like he is unable to, and maybe every time he spreads his arms wide towards the light and hopes he can move on.
Agreed bro
Beautifully said
I totally agree with you, Jim’s words reiterate the idea of Able being in the purgatory. When he says that if you still have regrets you stick around. I see this album as someone’s last moments alive. His work is so thought provoking. He’s a poet, a great one.
damn what a great interpretation
I love this so much. I hadn’t listened to this full album yet and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed listening to it for the first time with y’all. Best UA-cam channel rn for sure
this is so priceless to me. My father instilled the art of listening at a very young age as he was a music teacher. He is responsible for all of my musical upbringing and this is the thing that i miss most about him....being able to chop up everything that we would listen to. He showed me how to "hear" all the instruments/voices individually and that eventually led me to becoming a producer. The last album that we've dissected was Daft Punk's Random access Memories. I've lost my dad in 2013 to cancer ...and those sessions that you guys do are so familiar to me that they bring incredible peace and closure. Much love and respect , never stop doing this !!
I love how your dad closes his eyes and really engrosses himself into each track. The passion for music really shines through in these videos!
Love this album. Loved After Hours as well
His last two albums are so much better than anything he’s done before and that’s saying a lot

This album is truely a legendary masterpiece ❤ love your reaction ❤❤
Really cool how your Dad appreciates new music and is so open to hearing new sounds and artists. Many just neglect anything out of their comfort zone and oppose certain genres due to the “stereotypes” but dont actually give credit to production values, layers and storytelling. Great work again lads
I think the Weeknd now has the two best albums of the 2020s, the guy is a great singer but he’s really starting to become one of the all time great musicians slowly, and I’d now say he’s top 3 of this generation with Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar
what i like about him is he’s so different from other mainstream artists, usually when artists get big they tend to just throw in songs without a second thought, while he stays true to his art

Man, I love this channel! Seeing you both reacting to music together is something special. I love it!
Watched every second of this. You two make amazing content and are truly passionate about the art form and its nice to see
The album also loops perfectly from the last track to the first, so worth it for die hard fans
Transitions on this album were fucking beautiful. Pretty standard for a Weeknd album.
Also the 2 consecutive runs on this album from How Do I Make You Love ME, Take My Breathh & Sacrifice + Best Friends, Is There Someone Else & Starry Eyes are both fucking unbelieveable.
Hey guys!, I literally stumbled across your channel last night. Since then I have been hooked listening to you two speak about music it opens my ears, I've never really been into the depths and how's of music but you guys explain it so well and I actually understand what you're talking about. Awesome ! Keep it up.
AHHHHH this is one of my favorite albums! and your dad was so right about less than zero!!!!!! it's incredible live! literally had to stop myself from sobbing lol
Hey Amanda!! There is that something special in that chorus that just makes you get emotional. Amazing stadium song. Not sure why it wasn't released as a single.
I know it doesn’t need to be stated, but your Dad is so cool. I wish I could jam out and listen to music with my dad, and connect on this level. Keep up the great reactions, Dawn FM was a top album of mine.
This is going to be album of the year for sure. You guys definitely need to relisten to the whole thing without pausing it. The album flows together so well.
You guys genuinely make me happy
So, the previous album and this one are like part 1 and part 2. This album is like a journey through purgatory, where he is reflecting on his past life, especially his past regrets in love. Jim is like the guide, pushing The Weeknd (and the listeners) to heaven, which is essentially completed by the last track. He has hinted at another album that will complete the trilogy, which people are predicting will be called after-life.
The Weeknd is truly a genius. We’re so blessed to be able to witness his greatness and it just feels like whenever he makes music, you end up floating. Truly one of the greats. Thanks for the great reaction🙏🏿
his last few albums were kinda repetitive imo
The Weeknd just keeps getting better and so is this channel! It’s crazy how little The Weeknd cares about doing what everyone else is and just aims at making good shit
this album definitely grows on you if you didn’t love it the first time, been a long time fan and this album didn’t resonate with me much on the first listen but now i love it
Same here!!! Had to play it a couple times, now it’s on repeat 🔥
when your dad said " aye" i felt that ... jokes aside on "out of time" your dad was fully vibing into the instrumental and i totally understand him, the song has such a immersive instrumental that i had to listen to it probably 3 times to really get both lyrics and instrumental nuances
The Weeknd tweeted that we are in ‘the midst’ of a new trilogy with After Hours being the first album. Definitely an album to listen for an overall experience
32:06 Yoooo!!! Your father is hilarious and it's cool to see you guys are comfortable enough with each other to say / hear such things. Amazing job with the podcast!
I love how you guys are very thorough with y’all’s review on the album!
Best album I've heard in years by far ,love his energy
its so dope when both of you listening for the first time, the way you both react to the songs, the way you discuss whats happening on the record. brings tears to my eyes fr
Kevin said on Out Of TIme how you could think its literally 80s. And it literally is, it uses a sample from a japanese city pop song from the 80s.
The relationship between you and your dad is priceless!
I loved this reaction and album sm. You guys are awesome!
My god this has been on repeat since it came out! This is the perfect video right now!
Super happy you guys got to this album so shortly after release. I haven't put it down since it was released, I was never really a fan of The Weeknd and I have now listened through his whole discography and I'm a huge fan.
god i love these two so much just such good opened vibes i just love it
I would want this album to be played at my funeral. The ending with Jim’s poem is perfect.
One of my favourite albums ever already. Glad you’re reviewing the Weeknd. Amazing content!
I knew your dad would love this! The Weeknd is so talented and I'm glad your dad recognizes his and so many other hip-hop, R&B artist' talents. Keep up the great work guys!
Started watching off the tame impala currents album but love The Weeknd glad to see anybody enjoy his albums and understand the work it takes to make it. Earned a subscriber and a follower on anything you guys are sponsored by
