Love this! His lower register is so alluring.

I like that he's experimenting with his voice. This is really good.

What kind of perfection is this? Simply amazing. This needs to be a single.

I KNEW this sounded familiar. He sampled the Romantic's "Talking in your Sleep". First Bruno, now him. Whats with the 80s fascination all of a sudden?

This is easily one of my favorites from the album. I love the lyrics, the vocals, and the dreamy 80s Sleaze/Morning Music styled production. The hooks are fantastic. This really should be a single in the mid to late Winter.

This is listed as a Hot Track on iTunes this week. They're likely testing it as a future single.

Does the beat sample 112's "Dance With Me"?

The instrumental samples "Pale Shelter" by Tears for Fears. The chorus interpolates "Talking in Your Sleep" by The Romantics.

I am not familiar with Pale Shelter but I'm guessing it's just the disembodied vocals before the chorus (and during?) that is the sample. As for the beat itself, no, it doesn't sample 112. |

The underlying squiggly synth line that goes through the whole song. It's really beefed up in this song though, way more prominent than in "Pale Shelter." Also, the quitar strums throughout the song and the breakdown after the chorus is from PS as well. |

Capital FM has this listed as 'coming soon'; I assume this is next.

He's just doing this artistic thing like Bey, I suppose

The beginning of the video's a cool setup, but on the whole it's not that exciting.
False Alarm stays the best.

I like the video. I'm confused as to why this hasn't been sent to radio.

He could have had a great era if he did this:
1. Starboy
2. False Alarm
3. I feel it coming
4. Secrets

This era was off to a fine start but idk what happened, it's like they suddenly aborted it in the middle. Here's what I would have done if I was his label:
1. Starboy (All formats)
2. I Feel It Coming (Pop)
3. Six Feet Under (Rhythmic/Urban, about 5 or so weeks after IFIC is sent to pop)
4. Secrets (Pop, after IFIC peaks but while SFU is in its final stages)
5. Party Monster (Rhythmic/Urban, after SFU peaks and Secrets has had about 10ish weeks on pop. Then sent to pop after Secrets is done and it begins to peak on R/U -- the same thing they did with The Hills could work here imo, especially coming off 3 successful pop singles)
6. Reminder (Rhythmic/Urban if Party Monster does really well and they seem to be thirsty for another single. Maybe pop if it smashes on R/U)
Should be good for at least 3 hot 100 top 5s, maybe another top 10 or 20, and #1s across pop, rhythmic, and urban.

i don't know how i missed this for so long, but just heard it last night - & I LOVE it!!!
anybody who combines T4F w/ Romantics is on the right track as far as i'm concerned & Abel does it PERFECTLY!!!
always liked The Weeknd, but this is his best yet!!!
