dad hears The Weeknd for the first time..

[@insane569]

THANK YOU! I'm a patreon supporter for this kind of stuff. I love early weeknd.

[@SolfeggioNederland]

For a full Trilogy or After Hours, Dawn FM i will be a patreon supporter too!🫡

[@zoewiederhold7060]

5:50 it’s cool how Kai & Dad start nodding to different tempos. they recognize different things as an old & new listener

[@Fuzzioned]

you should play him the whole mixtape, there should be something there he would like

[@gabrielsanders7094]

EXACTLY

[@Man_eee]

I don't think Trilogy is for Dad it's too dark and he clearly states on here that he's not a big fan of that. I think he would like The Weeknds Pop music more.

[@Progressive.G]

No, go straight to _Beauty Behind the Madness_ please 🙏

[@Fuzzioned]

@@Man_eee tbh im a new follower so i dont know him that well yet, but i agree. if hes going to show any project id go for the newer projects

[@kimberlytorres9790]

The Party & the After Party It’s like 7 1/2 min long but keeps my attention

[@maxpbeaumont]

One of my favourite Weeknd tracks. This whole trilogy album hit me so hard when I first heard it. Thanks for the reactions homies.

[@kimberlytorres9790]

The Party & the After Party if you wanna stay with this era. It’s longer but the music and vocals keeps you more engaged and his voice matches the lyrics better 😂

[@shantlacewade9481]

The Weekend - Call My Name His voice as a break up song is everything!

[@_cdefrancemusic]

One of his best hits for sure! Loveee The Weeknd!

[@makenak]

He’ll probably like “Adorn” by Miguel. The song is so short that it leaves you wanting more.

[@jameskern1526]

Dad's comment about a deeper or rougher voice complimenting the sound better is very interesting. What made The Weeknd stand out so much when he first dropped really was the discordance between his falsetto, which has such a strong association with more sweet/pretty music, and the luridness of his lyrics along with the dark atmospheric music.

[@Progressive.G]

He just sounds like a sad, whiny, emo dude on his old stuff

[@angie-jo1mn]

​@@Progressive.Gyou mean being emotional? Men are allowed to show their emotions even through music. I get it. Too real for some of yall 😂

[@Progressive.G]

@@angie-jo1mn naw it's just too corny and whiny

[@speedoflight589]

@@Progressive.Gnot liking a certain genre of music is cool but why go out ur way just hate on him. Weeknd and drake are the top 2 artists in the last decade. Ur opinion tells me majority ppl would probably not like ur music taste.

[@Progressive.G]

@@speedoflight589 What you said made no sense

[@Plague_Doc22]

Trilogy The Weeknd was peak The Weeknd for me. Always loved his songs that have more depth to them, now it's all about making catchy dance songs. Which is sadly something nearly all R&B guys start doing.

[@Hibbs4Prez]

First of all what R&B guys are out there right now...doing ANYTHING? And considering that the vast majority of R&B guys are black, you are basically chastising any of them for making music that garners mainstream appeal. Do you hold black female singers, or white guys or white women to that same standard? Sit down. Secondly he has been consistently less confined to R&B.

@@Hibbs4Prez " And considering that the vast majority of R&B guys are black, you are basically chastising any of them for making music that garners mainstream appeal. Do you hold black female singers, or white guys or white women to that same standard? Sit down." Why did you bring up race? Seems like a very racist thing to do. As it has nothing to do with this. That's the problem, R&B guys constantly go in to shitty dance music because it makes more money generally. That's the whole point of my complaint lol.

i disagree Dawn FM has so much depth to it and its far from mainstream

[@soyjeffe__]

I think The Weeknd’s vocals are sometimes underrated. I saw him live and his vocal tones sounded so clean. And your dads right about Eminem. It definitely has that vibe. And I think this song plays when he’s in the uncut gems

[@shouperman1]

hands down my favourite song by the weeknd. So much feels. went through a few vids, this dude has extremely similar music taste as me lol

[@frontroom]

Glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Kai

When he said Mariah Carey, I’m not gonna lie I busted out laughing so hard, your dad is so cool

[@austyngrey6172]

Dad was spot on with the choruses delivery being stylistically similar to eminem, he has a great ear.

[@MaxxGhost1]

You guys definitely need to do more of the weekend. The Birds would have been a good one!

The whole mixtape is probably his best work, he does a Dirty Diana cover called D.D which is pretty good

[@RemSoDope]

My favorite weeknd song ever. The reason why I love him now

[@the1only467]

Been a minute since I’ve checked in the with you two. Glad to see things are still going well.

[@skunkbearfilms5497]

Your dad may have a point..I think the deep voice he's looking for can be Giveon....him singing this song will also be pretty fire tbh

[@EZ95]

Giveon is a good pick. My ass was thinking about teddy pendergrass 😂 it would still be tight ngl

[@kw2607]

My fav Album from the Wknd! Very raw! One of the greatest voices of his generation.

[@ericluhman1998]

IF U MAKE HIM LISTEN TO A WEEKND ALBUM MAKE SURE ITS AFTER HOURS. Id say thats the best way to capture the weeknds sound

[@mzzthang3912]

The trilogy was such a good mixtape drop nobody knew who he was but the instruments and voice were so different but I prefer this compared to his new stuff

[@dyana4926]

Surely it’s honestly perfection

[@aganyikeren3155]

This album deserves a reaction!!!

[@techspray5892]

Bro the weeknd old music is literally goated nothing can top it ! Show other songs this like one of his mildest songa

[@SS_Booda]

Heartless, for dad! It's upbeat I can see him jamming!

[@MARXOTWOD]

TheWeeknd is amazing. His music is a narrative of his life.

[@amberalert_xo]

High for this has really good production, and it's a great opener.

[@J0uwMoeder]

I think the Eminem chorus remark isn't actually that far fetched. I could see it. The piano in the background and parts of the beat actually have an 8 mile era Eminem vibe to them.

[@warnaoh]

And the layering maybe ? Thing is their voice are nthg alike and one can actually sing so it's hard to compare. But I think I can kinda hear what he's hearing.

[@frontroom]

Glad my comment wasn’t totally out in left field! Thanks for watching. - Kai’s dad

Not out of left field at all. Weekend - The hills remix ft Eminem. Check that out 👌

[@isaacd4454]

Have your dad listen the the song after hours by weeknd . So amazing

After hours the song I think was one of the best on that album. That whole album is amazing though.

[@johnno_Aboveadem_xo]

The Weeknd writes his own music.. 💯

[@divinegod4281]

Weekend song is mostly for ppl who can relate and live that life style the night life, club, drugs and strippers the fast life. Your paps might like his commercial ones the wash down kinda pop sings

[@gracerobertson6546]

I defo agree but, (for me) despite not being able to relate personally to that scene, the raw emotion still hits and I’m in love with his music. I can only listen to Trilogy so often bc it rlly impacts my mood and mental. But god do I love it.

[@dicassobeats]

I remember when I was watching this guy on KZbin in 2011 who was talking about this song just coming out.. epic times. Was blown away with the sounds and voice.. this was before all KZbin advertising !!!!!!!!!!!

I wish Michael Jackson was here to witness The Weeknd. Play DD by The Weekend but don’t tell Dad it’s the weekend. See if he thinks it’s Michael.

[@1904.Lowridaz]

@@Viroxity I really meant most of the best rb songs

[@Grt1n]

This always gets thrown around. He didn’t write most of the album just four or five songs were originally his or cowritten by him. Now what I will say is this, The Weeknd made his own sound and Drake definitely wanted that sound so I’d say The Weeknd definitely influenced Take Care. Also Drake has said before that Able had a sound that he liked and Able has said that he liked drakes sound and just made it darker, both have given each other credit but I still say the The Weeknd made a better sound.

[@cincostarr88]

@Grt1n ok bro, I'm just saying some of the best songs... that I liked, was from him and he never gave him credit and that's why he never signed to OVO🤷‍♂️

If you think the Weeknd's singing style is unique than you all should check "The Dream". He's an slightly older American RnB artists who also sings in a falsetto and has a bunch of hits over the last 20 years including ones he wrote for Beyonce and Usher.
