Interview

"Seeing different parts of the planet in such a short period of time is hard to digest. It makes me wonder sometimes how one person can endure so much information at once. It's like an exercice at this point. I'm so used to hardly ever sleeping and roaming the streets of downtown Toronto with no care or motives in life. Little did I know it helped create this character in my songs that I left behind the day I became known for my music"

The Weeknd

Interview

"The writing style is more or less an evolution. I've learned to take more care in how I say things as opposed to being cavalier. The production is pretty much me asking myself constantly have I done this or have I done this formula, have I used similar sounds or have I done this arregement before"
