FunFact: The Weeknd came out for the idea of ‘In the night’ in an old bed room that used to belong to Marilyn Monroe. And the song is about a women who suffers from sexually abuse as a child that left her incapable of having a real love. If y’all know Marilyn Monroe was abused a lot in her childhood.

Of course.The Weeknd Once Admitted All His Music Is About Lana Del Rey. In particular, The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey have worked together a few times. And The Weeknd once admitted just how important Del Rey is to his music. On the surface, The Weeknd and Del Rey might seem like very different artists. After all, The Weeknd’s music hip hop and soul sound feels more in line with someone like Ariana Grande. Meanwhile, Del Rey’s career lives much more in line with rock-infused pop. However, the two artists are much more similar than the genres of their music might reveal. For instance, The Weeknd and Del Rey both often capture a dream-like quality in their songs. In addition, their lyrical content dips into dark territory, such as their preoccupation with drug references. So it makes sense they would work well together. And so they have. Beginning with The Weeknd’s 2015 single “Prisoner,” they’ve worked together on five songs.In a 2015 interview with Pitchfork, The Weeknd explained the interconnected nature of Del Rey’s music and his own. “Me and Lana have been friends for a long time. I’ve inspired her. She’s inspired me. 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. It’s just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on the whole [Beauty Behind the Madness] album. Even the whole monologue intro on “Lonely Star” from [my 2011 mixtape] Thursday - I just realized now that that’s Lana. That’s Lana’s voice. I mean, it’s my voice pitched up, but it’s her. It’s who she is. She was definitely the first feature that I wanted to bring on this album.” The Weeknd and Del Rey are more than just collaborators, it seems. The pair’s music - according to The Weeknd - is spiritually linked. Perhaps this revelation puts into context not only the collaborations between these two but their respective catalogs as well.

BBTM will forever be iconic for introducing the mainstream world to the Weeknd in his "peak pineapple" form and also opening the gates of dark/alternative R&B to the mainstream, it is only fitting that one of the pioneers of the sound, the Weeknd himself, would be the one to codify and popularize it.

As a rock fan/musician since childhood, I discovered the Weeknd back in 2015 due to Earned It. I was on a tv talent show and one of the girls performed 'Earned It', I checked out the original and fell in love with the Weeknd. It's so awesome watching you discover Abels music mate, you're spot on with your opinions. The dark, claustrophobic, slightly schizophrenic, tragic and nostalgic infused NIN style stuff from Trilogy, unbelievably powerful. Though I still enjoy his more mainstream work, but crave that dark vibe he does so fucking well. Keep up the great work mate, absolute highlight of the day when you post a Weeknd reaction.

It just hit to me that the BBTM does continue the narrative and journey that Trilogy (his homeplace) and Kiss Land (Japan) started. On BBTM, the world theme and vibe feels like he's just venturing to the West, particularly, the old Hollywood, especially with how Real Life feels like a movie opening, Losers containing a jazz breakdown, Tell Your Friends has that old soulful drive, Can't Feel My Face and In The Night are both Michael Jackson-inspired tracks, and Dark Times sounds like it came from the American old west, the western inspirations are very strong. I'm glad you liked The Hills, it is definitely one of his best works

Lana del Rey is one of the best alternative singer. I always listen to her when I want chill. Summertime sadness is one of her most popular song.

Your reaction on The Hills reminds me of how BigQuint reacted to the track. 5 years later, and the song still fucking bangs. Definitely one of the best post-Trilogy Weeknd songs ever

When I first listened to In The Night, I wasn’t a big fan. In fact I had it ranked last in the album. One listen later it jumped all the way to top 5 😂 The verses aren’t too powerful but everything else is crazy. Also Angel is my favorite. It’s not a song, it’s an experience. WOW

Yeah it's not bad this one, 3rd best album after Trilogy and Kiss Land. You can tell he's trying to push more into the pop world but some tracks still have that dark undertone.

sir...trying to make me pick between the hills and 90210 is crazzyyyy (especially because travis shouts out lake tahoe, where im from, in 90210. and im die hard XOTWOD). both are incredible ad i refuse to choose lolol! love your videos so so much, i know this is an old one and im commenting now but keep up the amazing work! also, acquainted is the best on the 2nd part of the track, def one of my favorites when it gets to the back end.

OG XO fan here. I keep saying this all the time, when Abel made Trilogy and Kissland he was in a dark place. He was drinking, heavier on drugs, depressed, and well even broke when making HOB, Thursday, and EOS. All of that reflected in the sound. He's none of that anymore. He cannot and will not revisit that sound because he's not in that place anymore. He's happier, has money, and things to lose. It just wouldn't be authentic anymore, he's no longer a dark mystery and he accepts his evolution. #xotwod

you re seriously the best channel that does music reactions/reviews. i love huge channels like fantano, meami, shawn cee, etc. and some of the smaller ones, but your reactions are just so real. it's not obnoxious, and the thing i love most is this: you're consistent with your opinions. you don't condescend yourself throughout different reactions, you don't bounce back and forth. i've never once left a video annoyed or frustrated at shit you were saying, whether it's positive or negative.

The second part of As You Are is probably my favorite moment of The Weeknd's discography, but other than that and maybe 2,3 other tracks this album doesn't do much for me. Def my least favorite Weeknd project so far

I love every album in it's own way. I feel like when you listen to music for the first time, it usually has the biggest impact. Anything you listen to after that suddenly has an expectation and can be compared to something else. So it makes it hard to get the same type of impact, as the first introduction to an artist.
