KISS LAND 2013

The Weeknd is so mainstream, yet so underrated. People only listen to BBTM and/or Starboy, and miss on THIS. it's a shame.

[dressboy]

Honestly one of the greatest intro tracks ever

[cslworldwide]

This song alone should speak volumes of the creative content this man has inside. I can listen to this song everyday, multiple times a day, and never get tired of it. The beat is just knockin'. I'm sorry.

[shafinrahman]

This song is an ethereal experience...makes me feel like I'm in a nightclub in the future in the Blade Runner universe.

"How do you teach yourself how to smile in a world where your dreams can't be real?"

Damn, that line is deep AF... no girl dreams of becoming a stripper/prostitute.

[theucheao]

The album is a story
In Professional it describes the prostitute he fell in love with.
in the town he explains how she found someone and hes about to go on tour
adaptation hes on tour & has adapted to life without her
love in the sky - he returns to her for a night of passion
belong to the world - he realises that her prostitution is too much for him to handle and they could never be something real & he leaves again
the next 3 tracks are more tour life
pretty - he returns after a year to murder her
tears in the rain - shes dead. and now he will never love again

[MistSpirit]

The sexual and metaphysical tension that this song provokes is inescapable, the production is timeless. Kissland is so ahead of its time that even today many people listening to The Weeknd don't know it's his best album.

[jaredlester]

Such an underrated song. One of his best imo.

[MFjaYWiLL]

I never understood how no one bought this album. This is the rawest and one of the best lyrical R&B albums ever.

[dillonsmalley]

There will never be another album like this. Ever

[LizListens]

Four years later this song is still a fucking banger. The entire album has always been so underrated and it's really upsetting

[dillonsmalley]

I feel like Kissland encompasses everything trilogy was but puts the sound sonically on an entirely different level. The production is amazing

[bridgetttraylor]

Goosebumps hit me at 2:39 . The production on this whole album was way ahead of its time. This is my favorite album from him :)

[sophieharding]

and seven years later it’s the number one album. XOTWOD

[nuxxler]

"We're sophisticated
At loving..."... i swear when this drops i unconsciously start popping my head :D

[MegaRamp]

If y’all are still on Kissland, yo taste good

[MonsterDeplorable]

This album is a masterpiece. I wish he could’ve kept to his own and not got involved with big Nosed record execs. His old shit is simply unf’ntouchable

[dulimedina]

this song reminds me of staying in a hotel in Japan, one of the highest small rooms. looking out the window to the street and seeing city lights all alone. with all lights off except the desk light with the yellowing of time.

[WUnIT]

this album is so much better then beauty behind the madness, we took this album for granted just because it didn't live up to the hype of the trilogy

[Krafty]

What's a somebody in a nobody town?

Damn!
