![]() ![]() After contemplating whom this ex might have moved on to (“Who you give that love to now?”), he then makes it clear he is singing about Hadid: “You were equestrian, so ride it like a champion,” he sings. “Wasted Times” is about, you guessed it, wasted time spent with someone else (“Wasted times I spent with someone else,” are indeed the lyrics he goes on, “She wasn’t even half of you”). ![]() And then the song moves on to, yes, a Justin Bieber allusion: “Guess I was just another pit stop / Til you made up your mind / You just wasted my time.” (Unfortunately, it would seem the song “went to the presses” before the Weeknd had time to work in a reference to Bieber’s apparent new flame, the delightfully named Baskin Champion.) “I said I didn’t feel nothing baby, but I lied / I almost cut a piece of myself for your life,” he sings. But then in the second verse we get what would seem to be confirmation, an apparent reference to Gomez’s recent kidney transplant. This one begins with the lines: “We found each other / I helped you out of a broken place / You gave me comfort / But falling for you was my mistake.” Probably about Gomez? Seems to be pretty standard Dwelling on an Ex fare. Let’s start with the opening track, “Call Out My Name” (which is going to take us a few days to not initially scan as “Call Me by Your Name” when we see the name). Prior to dating Gomez, he dated supermodel Bella Hadid for more than a year. (The titles themselves elucidate the mood here: “Wasted Times,” “Hurt You,” you get the drift.) And in the grand tradition of Confessional Albums from Famous Pop Stars, a great deal of the immediate commentary has been related to deductions as to who these songs are about.įor those who need a quick Weeknd-dating-history refresher, he was involved with Selena Gomez for about 10 months before they split in October 2017 (she would later reunite with her ex Justin Bieber). The digital art is moodily shot, the 28-year-old’s filtered face obscured in darkness, and, in tandem with the title, seemed to signal that this was going to be a bit of a grim affair.Īnd indeed, now that the record is out in the world, it’s confirmed: there is no full-throttle shimmering buoyant “Starboy” amongst these songs. Titled My Dear Melancholy, the six-track set is the first album from the artist since 2016’s massively successful Starboy (he was also featured on this year’s Black Panther soundtrack). It’s one step at a time.The Weeknd, as the Internet likes to call it, “pulled a Beyoncé” this week, as he dropped a surprise album with only a cryptic Instagram tease preceding it. You kind of just have to get better and better and work on it. And yes, it’s just sometimes it’s hard, you know? You’ll never really get over stuff. I love people I take really good care of myself. “I’ve been very aware of my platform, and I don’t try to hide any part of flaws that are in me,” she said. The singer, who confirmed she is currently “finishing up” her third studio album, also enthused that she feels “the best felt” after being diagnosed with lupus in 2014 and receiving a kidney transplant last year. You know, we are not going to end these certain things or try to break through it unless we take those risks.” How it’s just opened the door for healthy communication and that’s all you want. This is what happens and i’m sorry if you can’t – this is real life and I’ve had numerous parents and kids come up to me. And i think that’s when you get people to wake up. “So i think when something makes that sort of noise,it’s either two reasons. ![]() “I’ve always viewed things as comfort is the enemy of progress” she said. Gomez premiered the single Thursday on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show, calling the song “a special project that I wanted to give to Season Two.” The singer, an executive producer on 13 Reasons Why, also discussed the controversy surrounding the show’s first season, which revolves around the suicide of a high school student. The record also boasts New Wave classics from New Order, Echo & the Bunnymen, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Tears for Fears and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The album – out the same day Season Two premieres on Netflix – also includes new songs from OneRepublic featuring Logic, Billie Eilish featuring Khalid, YUNGBLUD featuring Charlotte Lawrence, Coloring and Lord Huron featuring Phoebe Bridges (a new version of the band’s “The Night We Met,” which appeared in the drama’s first season). Later, she admits, “I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to.” “You’re stuck in my head, and I can’t get you out of it,” the singer proclaims over acoustic guitar and a lightly tropical programmed beat. Selena Gomez compares a romantic partner to a hooky pop tune in the sleek new song, “Back to You,” featured in the upcoming soundtrack to 13 Reasons Why Season Two. ![]()
