Wasted Time is a beautiful stripped back track which showcases how brilliant a poet The Weeknd is. The guitar breakdown towards the end of the track delivers more of what I felt it was lacking but it still does not live up to the standards I have come to expect of The Weeknd. The vocals seem very distant, a stark contrast to the last song and his normal tones. With this song you can’t not focus on what he has to say, for a beginning track, we have no doubt melancholy was the right word to use.Īs Call Out My Name fades away, Try Me picks up where it left off. The song has a slow build up to the chorus, with The Weeknd in no rush to deliver the lyrics. “But falling for you was my mistake” leaves us with no doubt as to where he stands with this relationship. This track gives a subtle reminder of Earned It, from Beauty Behind The Madness, with talks about how dangerous it was to fall for this girl. Most feel this is discussing his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, and their struggles with her health problems. He is evidently discussing a girl who he has split ways with. Departure from the normĬall Out My Name starts the album of with a dark tone a slow beat and a monologue is all we need to know where this track will be heading. Perhaps the six tracks didn’t give me any time to really dislike it, but here is an honest review.

It is rare that I enjoy an album the first time I listen to it, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I’ve listened to the album for the first time, with no skips and no repeats, to really get a feel for the vibe of the album in the way it is meant to be listened. Although my English Literature A-level shouts at me that it is grammatically incorrect ‘My Dear Melancholy,’ does have a comma after it, showing us that Abel Testfaye is never one to conform to expectations. Finally, The Weeknd heads to San Francisco’s Outside Lands from August 10 – 12 where he tops the bill with Florence + The Machine and Janet Jackson.The Weeknd’s new album is a concise six songs, and a mix between his early tracks of hard-hitting beats and honest lyrics, and his new pop, award-winning music. On Saturday, 4 August, he headlines at Lollapalooza in Chicago’s Grant Park alongside Bruno Mars, Jack White and Arctic Monkeys. On 27 July, he headlines at the three day Panorama Festival at New York City’s Randall’s Island Park on a bill also featuring slots from Janet Jackson, The Killers, Dua Lipa, Cardi B, The War On Drugs and more. He headlines the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival alongside Beyoncé and Eminem.

The Weeknd is set to appear at several major festivals over the summer months in support of My Dear Melancholy. The Canadian pop/R&B crooner has been keeping busy since the release of 2016’s Starboy, collaborating with Lana Del Rey, Future, Gucci Mane and most recently Kendrick Lamar on their track ‘Pray For Me’ off the Black Panther soundtrack, as well as writing a Starboy comic for Marvel. The synopsis for the album on Apple Music is described it as returning “to his unfiltered, art-house roots with a release so intimate and tortured, you’ll feel like a fly on his bedroom wall”. As uDiscover Music previously reported, My Dear Melancholy is a quick listen with just six tracks and features French techno artist and DJ, Gesaffelstein, (real name Mike Lévy) on two of the songs, ‘I Was Never There’ and ‘Hurt You’ harks back to Abel‘s moodier earlier work.
