Over 5 years since House Of Balloons drop and it’s still an event when The Weeknd does an interview.
After having the most successful year of his career in 2015 with Beauty Behind The Madness, The Weeknd returned not too long ago with ‘Wild Love‘. Now, he has graced the cover of VMAN.
In the story, he talks about his next body of work and what direction he’s going with it, the success of his last album, the Black Lives Matter campaign and more. Check out an excerpt below and click here to peep the full story.
“Even though I’ve been putting out bodies of work for years, Beauty Behind the Madness felt like the beginning,” he says. “My purpose is to make exciting music, and I feel like I’ll be doing that for the rest of my life, so there’s no pressure. Nothing is stopping me from doing what I love to do.” So how will he grow and move forward without leaving behind the fans he has won? “I’ve been very intrigued by the film Amadeus. I’ll touch on my relationship with religion a little bit and how it ties into my crazy and materialistic life. I’ll touch base on some recent experiences and past experiences that didn’t make the last album. I wrote some of these songs while recording Beauty Behind the Madness. It’s like a fictional book inspired by true events.”
