Title: The Weeknd Says He Changed Pop Music / Suggests Usher Took His Sound
Post by: Lazarus on April 08, 2020, 01:33:29 PM

The Weeknd's sound didn't remain unique for long. Within months, moody alt-R&B was everywhere. "'House of Balloons' literally changed the sound of pop music before my eyes," he says without exaggeration. "I heard 'Climax,' that [2012] Usher song, and was like, 'Holy f—, that's a Weeknd song.' It was very flattering, and I knew I was doing something right, but I also got angry. But the older I got, I realized it's a good thing."(Usher declined to comment for this story.)

I like The Weeknd but he needs to sit the fuck down. Literally everything he's put out since 2015 has been average af.

And Climax was the only Weeknd sounding song on that Usher album iirc, so how exactly is that "took his sound"? :udontlookok:
