Long story short, I got burned out. There's enough in here for you to enjoy.
Anyway, let's talk about a new potential album of the year.
The Weeknd - Starboy (2016)
2016 has been a fantastic year for me specifically when it comes to diving into hip hop. Blue Scholars, Travis Scott, Kanye West, and now The Weeknd are falling onto my radar for regular listens. Back when I heard the Starboy single with Daft Punk, I knew I had to give this album a listen when it was released, and god damn it does not disappoint.
I'm still getting through my first listen because the album is long as hell. But it's actually a good long as hell as opposed to albums being too long. It's one of those rare occasions where you're happy an album has a lot of tracks, because you simply don't want the album to end.
I don't have any standout or favorited tracks yet, but I'm sure that'll change as time goes on. I have to say that so far, Secrets would take my favorite track out of the album if I were to choose one.
I've never actually listened to The Weeknd before, and I'm going to change that right away. I like what I hear, and I really love the vocals this man has. Definitely happy with this release and will probably be bumping it for weeks to come next to Travis Scott's
