My Dear Melancholy,

The Weeknd

Six tracks of rain-slicked, nocturnal R&B. A return to the murky, industrial-tinged shadows of his early work, trading pop polish for raw, distorted heartbreak.

A cold, industrial-tinged descent into the wreckage of a high-profile breakup.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, distorted siren-like synth that pierces through the halfway point of I Was Never There.
The way the beat shifts into a skittering, UK garage-inspired rhythm on Wasted Times.
The final, fragile piano notes of Privilege that feel like a door slowly closing on a relationship.
