I went into this with mixed feelings - I’ve liked a few of The Weeknd’s songs but the last album wasn’t as good as I was hoping. And then I knew that there were ’talky bits’ in this and I tend to struggle with that on albums. However… I actually really liked it! The whole vibe has some kind of fever dream feel towards it.

I thought I was going to love this album, because I’ve heard people talking about how strong the 80s influence is, and Blinding Lights is one of my favourite songs of late. I don’t think it lived quite up to my expectations but it is a solid album.
