It’s about, ‘Let’s try and find excellence.’” “The people in that room care: there are no agendas in there, there’s no ‘let’s snub this person’ or that person.

It’s a long, arduous process and people take pride in it. “And they were critically listening to every song that came across their desks – or virtual desks – so I don’t think it shows a flaw in the process. I was in the ‘core room’ this year and I observed, and the people in it are music professionals, at the top of their craft in songwriting and producing and there are a lot of artists. “The process is there so we can continue to monitor excellence. told Variety that, “I don’t think process into question, honestly,” he said.

#The weeknd new album theory full
Its important to note unlike his last album 'Starboy' the ending song's instrumental doesn't loop into the first song, meaning this time The Weeknd really is done with love.Īlso after he returned to his old ways in 'Heartless' he never has a change of heart so he is truly back to his Trilogy ways.The Weeknd has hit out at the Grammys after his massive snub. The 50 best albums of 2020: the full list. In 'Until I Bleed Out', a bitter and tragic acceptance of the now unrequited love he declares that he'll never get over her but life must continue. In 'After Hours' he comes to term with the fact they may never get back together as he finally processes the pain. He wants her still, but now he wants her to be happy more and wishes the genuine best for her. Picking up now at 'in your eyes' he sees his EX around the place and is no longer actively pursuing her but now he watches from a far. In a drunken binge he finally admits to himself that he has been caught up and the blame for this lays squarely on his shoulders. "Blinded by the lights" is a re occurring thematic expression which mean he's negatively caught up with the glamour and lifestyle of hollywood. He initially lies to himself, claiming he's heartless and simply returns to his playboy lifestyle instead of processing his hurt emotions. However in a drunken bout at the studio he cheats on his girlfriend who breaks up with him. Over the weekend, a conspiracy theory began circulating on social media that the deaths were a result of Scott’s participation in a satanic ritual. Realizing this he pledges to be devoted to the girl and they get together. On Friday (Nov 5), tragedy struck during a Travis Scott performance at the Astroworld Music Festival in Houston, as eight people died and hundreds of others were injured during what officials are calling a mass casualty event.

He realizes that the things he wanted were nothing in comparison to the relationship. In the track snowchild he explains that he's finally achieved/gain what he wanted to in hollywood. The Weeknd is courting a girl who's wary of being in a relationship with him, she questions his committment to her and whether he is willing to sacrifice his time. So the Narrative structure of this one is pretty different from the others.
