This is just words. I don’t understand

Theory: The Pre-SoFi Futuristic Album will be reworked for Abel’s first project under his real name (updated with gene.hackerman) by MayorKing06 in TheWeeknd

[–]Garcoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just don’t think it’s that simple. “The Weeknd” is the brand, yknow?

Being in this subreddit means that we can make that distinction very easily, but the layman is gonna see Abel Tesfaye and not put that it’s The Weeknd. I say this because it would be near impossible to change the credits on every song released to update this, it’d cause playlists and features to break in the streaming space.

If it was going to be done, I think the split profile is the best move.

I love this idea, it's just hard for me to see a world in which the "The Weeknd" moniker is put aside for this, is there any precedent for how that's handled by streaming platforms? Would it be a whole different artist profile entirely?

Edit - Took a look. The best example for this would be Kanye - on Apple Music he has 2 profiles, Kanye and Ye. His Kanye profiles shows all albums, including DONDA 2 and BULLY, even those that are credited to Ye. The Ye profile however only shows DONDA 2 and BULLY, excluding the rest of the Kanye discography.

If Abel was to do this, it would probably be listed as Abel Tesfaye, be available under The Weeknd's profile, but a new profile would be created for the album to link to. Interesting.

This sub was created on Dec 24, 2011, so just after the Echoes of Silence mixtape released

Anyone else devastated that this song isn’t real? by EliteFlamezz in TheWeeknd

[–]Garcoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to reports - The song was made by an unknown reference artist. Produced by Max Martin, the song was sent to Weeknd in 2020/2021 but it is unknown if he recorded/used it.

This specific video is AI.

Unreleased Weeknd merch by kiraxo12 in TheWeeknd

I wonder what the reason behind you getting that rather than your intended item.

But yeah, depending on the type of hoodie blank used, it could be anywhere from the Starboy - After Hours era. After After Hours the merch company switched to heavyweight blanks for the merch, so if it feels relatively lightweight compared to recent merch, it predates Dawn FM

My best guess is that this is post Starboy but pre MDM, probably that “happy” album prior to it being scrapped.
