posting more on Instagram about his guest spot — in which he voiced an uptight, virginal cartoon version of himself — than he did about his actual album.
“It might not be what people gravitate towards the most in the future. Hopefully it is. But to me, it’s definitely my most perfect album.”March 20th release date, the Weeknd became one of the few major artists to stick with a previously announced album schedule for this spring. According to him, he barely even considered pushing the album back. “We had to drop it,” he says. “Imagine holding onto that record till now. It would have been a nightmare. It would have eaten me alive.
That hasn’t left him much time to listen to new music. Asked what he’s been listening to this year, he draws a blank. He’s rooting for Roddy Ricch and Megan Thee Stallion, though, and he empathizes with the countless artists who have struggled to get their careers off the ground this year. “R&B and black music is such a wide variety,” he adds. “If they put us all into one category, I still think it’s not fair. We’ll see how it goes.”Tesfaye was watching closely as the protests that followed George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police helped prompt some much-needed music-industry reckoning. He donated $500,000 to provide legal aid and bail money for protesters as well as to the Black Lives Matter organization.
