Vinyl Record The Weeknd – Kiss Land [2LP]

The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel McConkie Tesfaye, is one of the most prominent artists in contemporary pop music. His work seamlessly combines R&B, synthpop, hip-hop and electronica, and his characteristic “nighttime melancholy” atmosphere has made his voice synonymous with the urban loneliness of the new millennium. From his anonymous releases in 2011 to international fame with his albums Starboy and After Hours, The Weeknd has remained at the forefront of musical innovation, experimenting with both sound and visual art.

Kiss Land is the artist's debut studio album, released in 2013 via XO and Republic. This release is a continuation of the atmospheric, frank style established in his earlier works, but in a more thoughtful and cinematic form. The album immerses the listener in a dark, hypnotic world with themes of sex, loneliness, touring, and the psychological pressure of fame. The album was produced by DannyBoyStyles, DaHeala, and The Weeknd himself, and the only guest artist was Drake, who appears on the track “Live For”. Despite its experimental sound, the album gained critical and fan acclaim, and the singles “Kiss Land,” “Pretty” and “Belong to the World” cemented The Weeknd's reputation as a genre innovator. The two-disc release allows you to dive deeper into the atmosphere of this musical world.
