When it comes to one of the most famous, richest, critically acclaimed, and whatever other adjectives you can think of because they’ve probably been used about him, he doesn’t make many songs that don’t SLAP.
With the fourth quarter nearly halfway finished and the weather finally warming up, you need the perfect songs for the upcoming season. Certain albums sound better during spring and summer, and this is definitely one. I’ve listened to Awaken, My Love! front and back multiple times and here is my honest opinion regarding the songs on the album.
From his chart-topping “Blinding Lights” (2019), which was the first song ever to spend a full year in the Billboard Top 10, and performing a memorable halftime show at the 2021 Super Bowl, The Weeknd has probably had the craziest career in the last few years.
This album sounds like if George Harrison’s songwriting, Beach House’s production, and ABBA’s instrumentation were fused into a soft-rock group for the 21st century.
