Album Review #32

Miguel

A perfect breakup album. Such a moody vibey album with huge emotion on songs like ‘Call Out My Name’. Production from Gesaffelstein is brilliant and vocals from The Weeknd over the futuristic piano and subtle drums is a match made in heaven. If this was a full album it would’ve been rated a lot higher, but for an EP it’s another great addition to The Weeknds discography. Top songs for me are ‘Call Out My Name’ ‘Try Me’ ‘Wasted Times’ ‘Hurt You’ ‘Privilege’

pitchfork

The Weeknd’s new six-song album finds him in limbo between the bleary-eyed vibe of his early mixtapes and the bulletproof pop stylings of his last two albums.

My Dear Melancholy, is The Weeknd's least adventurous set of songs since Kiss Land.
