Trilogy received generally positive reviews from critics, who reinforced the previous acclaim of the.
Part of which means opening up to the media. But in order to accomplish them he must first master the art of stardom. Nor will he be one of those indie artists who wields tremendous influence but whose names are only known by “purists.” Fuck that.The Weeknd’s plans are just as big, or bigger than, those of his peers and idols. But the 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer, born Abel Tesfaye in Scarborough, Ontario, doesn’t plan to languish in obscurity. Perhaps he’s given you another impression—because he’s never done an interview (until now) and he rarely poses for photos. Im stanning harder than ever before.The Weeknd wants to be a star.
I’m the most boring person to talk to.So why now? Is your label pushing you to do press for the album?No, labels always push. I still feel I have nothing to say. Even though all three albums were available for free, Trilogy managed to move more than 300,000 copies.Why haven’t you done an interview until now?I felt like I had nothing to say. He collected these, along with Balloons, as a three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing a joint venture deal with Universal Republic (not through OVO) in September 2012. The music caught the attention of another Canadian star by the name of Drake, who shared some of The Weeknd’s songs on his blog, invited him to perform on the first two OVO Fests, and enlisted the second-generation Ethiopian to work on his Grammy-winning sophomore album, Take Care.The Weeknd closed out 2011 with two more stellar offerings via free download— Thursday and Echoes of Silence. His smoky, 3 a.m.-after-party-in-my-hotel-room debut, House of Balloons (released March 21, 2011), had fans and critics hailing him as one of R&B’s new torchbearers.
And maybe I wouldn’t have done it if I thought you were an asshole. I felt like this was my time. Why are they doing this? Because they feel like they have to do it to be a complete artist. And I can tell in the interviews they’re uncomfortable. Even Prince did interviews.
At the end of the day you can’t deny the music. There are super fans, and I was really testing their patience. But you can’t escape the Internet. It reminded me of some villain shit. No one could find pictures of me. The whole “enigmatic artist” thing, I just ran with it.
I didn’t have a deadline for that. Which of the three resonates with you the most?House of Balloons is the most important for me because I spent the most time on it. And if I didn’t, I definitely made the longest mixtape of all time. I just wanted to make the greatest mixtape of all time, that’s all. But I’m very good at letting shit slide. I’ll show them that this is what I do.
I wanted to come out with like 14 records. “Crew Love,” “Shot for Me,” and “The Ride” were supposed to be on House of Balloons. I had so many records left, and then Take Care came through. Before House of Balloons, it was all freedom.House of Balloons was actually supposed to have more songs than it does.
I had sung this melody—it wasn’t a hook, just an unfinished lyric. I was surprised I could even hit a note. It was terrible how much weed smoke was in that room. Even Drake, he came into that session and we were all smoked out. Heard it and he was like, “This shit’s crazy.”RELATED: Pigeons & Planes - The Weeknd NewsRELATED: Green Label - The 10 Best Artist-Producer Teams of All TimeHow did you give it to him? Was it just an instrumental?Yeah, we were making the drum loop and.oh, man, I had smoked I don’t know how much weed.
I’ll make the music first and loop it, and then I’ll go into the booth and start singing almost 45 minutes straight. That was one of the free-minded records. And then there’s the free mind. There’s a calculated route—like, I know exactly what I’m going to do with this song. I was like, “Dude, take anything.” At that point I was like, “Hell, yeah.”In your mind, what was “The Ride” supposed to be?There are two ways of making music for me. I know I’ve already taken ‘Shot for Me’ and ‘Crew Love’ and this and that.” And me, I was hungry at that time.
I want to show the world that I can shit out albums like nothing.The song “Kiss Land” has a new level of musicality and thoughtfulness that seems apropos for your first major label release.I’m all about evolution. I’m painting this canvas by whipping the colors. With me, everything is a blank canvas. “Gone” was a complete freestyle. There are lyrics on Thursday, I don’t even know what the fuck I said. It’s a songwriter language.
What I sing about is what I sing about. Me, I’m very critical.I’m not here to change or lie about what I’m going to do. Some people realize it and some don’t. At that point I was very cavalier I didn’t give a shit. You’re bound to find flaws and repetition when you come out with three albums in one year. I listen to my music and I’ll be like, “This is shit.” Everyone around me is like, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”What are some flaws you saw in your past three releases?Just technical, musical stuff.
Kiss Land is me doing the things I did in Trilogy in different settings. Trilogy is my experiences in those four walls. That’s why I’m such a city cat. I’d driven to Montreal, but I’d never been on a plane before two or three years ago.From when I was born to when I was 21, I never left Toronto.
Some of the lines he says, if you say them in a normal voice, it’s the most disgusting thing you could say to somebody. He’s a musical genius, and probably the most prolific artist of the generation before mine. To start a song off, “She pops that pussy on a Monday.” Where is this going from there?I’m a huge fan of R. Especially if you’re in that hip-hop world, “Next” is for you.It’s that balance of high and low. If you’re an artist, you can relate to that record. I had a lot of darkness in that city.My favorite song on that project is “Next.”That’s an artist’s song.
I don’t like to spoon-feed people. He loves reading that stuff.Of course. If I can get away with singing that, I’m doing something right.So when you read things about how you two are not cool…—he’s like me when it comes to shit like that, too.
No, no, no, that’s not true at all. It’s wrestling, you know what I mean?The other rumor is that you two are PartyNextDoor. Everyone’s cool.” It’s all about the mystery, and people like it. We’re going to take a picture together.
I find a sound and run with it. I wrote a letter to the producers of Portishead and let them know this album is inspired by them.Most of it. My production and songwriting, and the environment around those vocals are not inspired by R&B at all.I heard Portishead drums on “Belong to the World.”Yeah, that was the inspiration behind that. Kelly, Michael Jackson, and Prince, for the vocals anyway.
Thursday is a conceptual album. There are some songs where I talk about the same person, but I like to make every song about someone else. Like I said, a lot of it’s subconscious.On “Belong to the World,” it sounds like you may have had a serious relationship.“Belong to the World” is about falling in love with the wrong person. The production is very cinematic for me, and R&B was never cinematic like that.Do you have a greater understanding of love on this album?I don’t know.
I hope that I fell in love and I hope that my heart was broken. Some people think they go through situations and then it hits them like a fucking brick.
