Fun fact Rolling stone was when The Weeknd addressed him going pop in the future. Basically saying that he knows he's gonna have to change but he hopes we still love him. From homeless to the super bowl.
Thank you for being apart of the journey. Before now I had just heard random radio singles from The Weeknd. Not sure why I never took the time to listen to his albums, but I'm here now and I'm enjoying it!
So, Rolling Stone is actually an open letter to us, the fans. He predicted his success. Gotta remember, he was 20 at this time, and he didn't show his face. He was just a voice and maybe a silhouette. Take that info and relisten.
Ok, I just watch the official video. Wow, I hear the song in a completely different way now...So...how do you feel about his older stuff compared to his more recent work?
@@KimBTV I'm glad you did. In the video, the woman actually represents his fans, where she literally "has his back" and as more of a gift to us, the flashes in that video was a photoshoot. That very moment from that very photoshoot became the cover for Trilogy. Henceforth, in the occasional video, he'll have a woman that kinda stands out in one way or another. That woman, though never the same woman, is the representation of us. For example, one day, when you watch the video for Can't Feel My Face, you'll spot her for a second.
@@KimBTV to answer your initial question lol, his original producers Doc Mckinney and Illangelo gave him such a unique sound and vibe. That darkness in the instrumental is what made Abel for me as an artist. I'll always be in love with that over the more "pop" sound he's taken up, though he's still kept his trademark vibe and darkness in most of his music. After Hours and the EP prior to that album, My Dear Melancholy, are blends of the pop while returning to his roots, as after Trilogy & KissLand, the music itself has evolved to sound lighter, maybe in reflection to him being closer to the limelight of successfulness. The sound is more cinematic and a much larger budget. Even in the songs he's featured on with other artists, the production alongside Abel's vocals almost makes them his own tracks. You'll see once you react to his one-off tracks and his features.
Birds Part 1 was both a threat and a promise. He made a career of the after effects lol. Birds Part 2 is my favorite of the two. Though I know he says she's Pleading, it sounds like he's saying she's Bleeding. Dark song overall. It's still up to everyone's own interpretation.
Thursday as a whole, I'm hearing is more and more growing as a favorite. HoB is my personal favorite, and I read that Abel prefers this one over this and the next one Echoes Of Silence. Oh shit, I just realized you have Echoes Next! Damn, so Initiation, XO/The Host, the title track, Montreal, Outside... Mama you're in for it and we can't wait.
@@KimBTV just know he's well known and famous for his opening and closing tracks on each of his albums. They're, in most cases, very powerful and cinematic. Echoes and each album going forward will show how much.
@@yellowman605 don’t be sad it’s all good. What’s more sad is that we’ll prob have to wait til next year for EOS reaction/review. JK Kim B.TV Love your reactions and insight
Fun Fact:The opening track, “Lonely Star,” begins with pitched-up vocals that were a source of speculation at the time. In a 2015 Pitchfork interview, the Toronto singer said that while the intro uses his voice, it’s heavily inspired by Lana Del Rey.“The whole monologue intro on ‘Lonely Star’ from Thursday-I just realized now that that’s Lana. That’s Lana’s voice,” said The Weeknd. “I mean, it’s my voice pitched up, but it’s her, it’s who she is.” As The Weeknd further explained, he and Del Rey had been friends for a long time and served as inspirations in each other’s music. “I feel like we’ve always been talking to each other through our music. She is the girl in my music, and I am the guy in her music,” he explained. “It’s just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on [Beauty Behind the Madness].” In addition to inspiring each other, The Weeknd and Del Rey are frequent collaborators. Lana appears on “Prisoner” from his aforementioned 2015 album, Beauty Behind the Madness, as well as The Starboy cuts, “Party Monster” and “Stargirl Interlude.” The Weeknd returned the favor in 2017 on “Lust for Life
to put the birds 2 beginning into perspective (since you rewound back to the beginning of the song) when it starts and the girl is crying(she loads the gun) then she cocks it back (as she's still crying) and as the beat starts is when the gun actually fires.
To add to this, he later said that he sang the girl's part with Lana Del Rey in mind because he feels that Lana in her music encapsulates the women's perspective well. The two of them inspire each other artistically and have an interesting working relationship. It's worth checking out some of her stuff if you haven't yet!
@@brianattyberry i thought he was saying that there is a mixtape named "Rockstar" but then i realized he wass calling "HOB" rockstar mixtape. 😂😂. Which i have listened million times. XOTWOD💓
So the second half of Gone is a freestyle. Maybe the whole song. Either way. He was legit Gone. Parts of the song he didn't know what he was saying in the booth. Some of his words are slurred too.
Gone is 7 mins of the Weekend being on drugs, the idea with Thursday was to prove that HOB was not a fluke and his team can just make hits with ease. He's said in interviews he doesnt even know what he really said at some points, they just recorded it in one take, also XO is the Weeknds Clique and now label similar to Drakes OVO, XO stood for XTC and OxyCodone
Gone is the perfect hip rolling music if you ask me lol trust me I then experienced a lot of Weeknd music wit females and they love to groove to this song
I’m so confused!!! Why is it that rolling stone and gone are always flipped!!!! How does that even happen Spotify, TH-cam music, and basically everything but the original version!?!?
Hey pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee react to CELINE DION COURAGE ALBUM, is number 1 on Billboard💯, has the collaboration by Sia, Sam Smith, David Guetta, Steve Aoki and producers by Adele. Is AMAZING !!! #CelineDionCourageAlbum

Thank you for being here. I'm enjoying this and learning a lot about The Weeknds artistry etc...
Me tooo
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Emerson Caspian Definitely, have been using Flixzone} for since november myself =)
I like seeing people have their first reaction to The Weeknd on these mixtapes. I remember when I heard it for the first time.

Yeah that's incredible. Thank you for sharing that, he has quite the story.
Yoooo when she hears Initiation...
We love a new addition to the fandom. Good to see your journey through with you

Valerie is him flexing those MJ vocals. She may be a literal person or a metaphor. Whoever she is, I believe this mixtape is about her.
Yeah, I feel like she may have been a real person
Valerie is Alice Ustinova his ex
echoes of silence will blow ur mind
Awww snap! I'm doing that next
I like how she approved the beat on gone 👍😂

I absolutely love all the songs on thursday but my tops has to be the zone, lonely star, birds pt.1, Thursday
So the second half of Gone is a freestyle. Maybe the whole song. Either way. He was legit Gone. Parts of the song he didn't know what he was saying in the booth. Some of his words are slurred too.
Yeah that makes sense, cuz the track really didnt have any structure...
like he says in Faith, “i choose vegas if they offer heaven’s gate.” ☝🏽

Thank you for your comment! I thought XO was short for XOXO, like affection. Didn't know it was XTC and Oxy.
Gone is the perfect hip rolling music if you ask me lol trust me I then experienced a lot of Weeknd music wit females and they love to groove to this song
New subscriber keep it up!I love The Weeknd and now I love you😂🖤
Awww, thank you!
Heaven or Las Vegas is self indulgence but does tie into his current music and videos.
In “The Zone” I’m pretty sure he meant he can’t feel a damn thing emotionally rather than physically.
Fireee
Never met anyone that picks Thursday over House of Balloons so don’t feel bad about the comparison lmao
Ok cool. I think since it's the 2nd mixtape, I thought I would like it more than the last but it didnt turn out that way.
Well I’m anyone
the birds girl suicide in the beggining of part 2. You can hear the gun.
You gotta hear the birds interlude!!!! It explains a little more to the birds
I didn't know there was one...ok I'm going to search and listen!
@@KimBTV it was only preformed live, you can definitely find it on TH-cam.
th-cam.com/video/gh4ue3q34KA/w-d-xo.html this is a good version of it
If he released this album today just think how many records he will break
facts
Love your content. You should react to enemy by The Weeknd. It never officially got released, but it’s his best leaked song
And my dear melancholy.
It's up next! I just dropped Starboy. Thank you for watching.
Thursday is so seductive. I need a table dance to that track one day. And the Zone.
*Just wait for “Initiation”*
Uh oh, I'm nervous LOL
I’m so confused!!! Why is it that rolling stone and gone are always flipped!!!! How does that even happen Spotify, TH-cam music, and basically everything but the original version!?!?
XO ( ecstacy and oxycondine ) , Weed , Coke they were on all of it lol.
Damnnn. That's crazy!
@@KimBTV he's mentioned more drugs in his lyrics. The more songs you cover (we're here for it) the more that list is gonna grow.
nice
In the birds pt 2 the girl crying in the beginning shoots herself then the beat starts
Aye Mami, I'm late. Let's go! Lemme slide in these comments.
Hey welcome back!
Valerie is Alice ustinova
Yeah, somebody sent me a link to her TH-cam
That’s all speculation. From what i can gather, Valerie is just a fictional character in the weeknd’s music
