I feel kinda bad saying this, but all of his recent material would sound better if it were sung by Bruno Mars. I have heard people say this, but I feel the exact opposite-I am just INSANE about his voice. I think I could listen to him singing the phone book and still love it. By far my favorite male voice out there right now.

Bruno is so high pitched at times (The Weeknd is as well) and have that annoying crying sound to his tone

I wouldn't say I love The Weeknd's voice, and I actually find it irritating across an entire album, but I'd much rather hear him singing this than Bruno Mars. The Weeknd has a certain edge that Bruno doesn't, and this song needs that edge.

Bruno Mars may be a skilled technical singer, but he's also the musical equivalent of watching paint dry. Yawn.

Damn. The hate for Bruno on Pulse is real, y'all. Meanwhile, The Hills>>>>>>>this. I just got a $15 iTunes gift card and I bypassed Can't Feel My Face to buy The Hills. THAT's The Weeknd I want, not Michael Jackson-lite. There are enough artists out there already doing it.

to be fair imo bruno's good mostly only for pastiches of other genres, everything else just blends into this samey pop/r&bish mould that's basically an auditory tranquilizer gun
back on topic though this is pretty good, think I might prefer "the hills" over this, though

OMG. This is even faster than Bad Blood. Does this mean that he is now bigger than TS? This might has a chance to enter the top 10 next week tbh So much more instant than Bad blood! Only took a few seconds on the radio to get engaged

It's a catchy song for sure, but it feels kind of prefunctory and uninspired. It sounds very much like Max Martin tried to make his own version of a Blurred Lines type jam. A hit for sure, but not close to the career-elevating smash that "Earned It" was. Honestly THAT should have been his real lead single, with "The Hills" following it. This Max Martin thing isn't for you, Abel.

He has his own sound and his own lane, why is he putting out a generic track that Chris Brown or Bruno Mars could have released?

Those of you missing "The Weeknd's own sound" should check out his feature on the new Meek Mill album. It fits the bill.

I went through some clips of it and it sounds better than his last but I am on the fence about buying it. I did like what I heard of The Weeknd's feature though.
