Y’all actually have No Idea how relieved I am that HUT is being received so warmly
I never doubted Abel cause Dawn fm taught me that a bad rollout doesn’t equal a bad album and I knew that he wouldn’t slack on his supposedly “final album” as The Weeknd. I knew he was gonna kill it.
But I always had that fear that maybe much like Dawn fm the album was gonna sound too experimental or that the critics/fans wouldn’t like it or the album would fly under the radar and no one would talk about it.
But so far none of those things have come true. The critics are raving about the album, the fans as well and the buzz around the album is way more than anything in the Dawn fm era. I remember I didn’t even know the album dropped (I wasn’t into The Weeknd but still I was a casual listener). There’s genuinely only positive word of mouth going around about this album and that makes me sooo happy.
Abel really outdid himself with the production and storytelling on this album and it’s awesome to see everyone fully appreciating that. The mere fact that a lot of regular everyday casual music listeners are calling this Album a “Movie” is enough to put a smile on my face.
Cinema like you’ve never seen it before indeed. What a way to end your tenure. With one of your best reviewed projects ever. Well done.
