FUSE TV - The Weeknd Says The Smiths, Bad Brains, Prince Inspired His New Album
The Weeknd is still riding the success of his sophomore album Beauty Behind the Madness (it's still on the Billboard 200 after 52 weeks, at No. 41), but the singer is ready to unleash new music. In his VMAN cover story, he reveals what he has planned for the follow-up LP.
First off, the Toronto native won't be steering away from his signature sinister vibes anytime soon. He discusses the new inspirations found on the third album:
“The production feels aggressive but still sexy. The Smiths, Bad Brains, Talking Heads, Prince and DeBarge play roles. We wrote it all in Los Angeles. I think it’ll be the best-sounding album I’ve ever done. It’s hard to label the sound because, when I first came out, nobody would label it R&B. I just want to keep pushing the envelope without it feeling forced."
