Lmfao

Hes back in Toronto or only La Mar

Listened to king of the fall after like a year, really his goat song

no matter what people say, he did well not signing to OVO, which made him able to keep his masters

Moth to a flame on tour ?

yea I disagree I think especially after one more album. and at this point he has a stronger following than most pop artists, we'll be here when he come back

The composer of "Midnight Pretenders" that was sampled on Out Of Time,Tetsuro Oda,does a little cover of the OG and co-signs Abel's version!

The video description,translated by DeepL.A lot of nuance lost in the translation but you can piece it together.

Tetsuro Oda:
Today, "Midnight Pretenders" by Aran Chiko.
This song is from an album called "Floating Space" released in 1983. This song was not cut as a single at that time.
For some reason, this song has been secretly popular on YouTube for a while now.
It has already been viewed more than 7 million times.
And it's called "The Weeknd," which is...you know...for our generation.
When you say "Weekend," you may think of Koutarou Yamamoto, but that's not true. It is not "Cape Tour" (laughs).
The Weeknd is, frankly speaking, one of the most successful black musicians in recent years.

He sampled this song for his new album, "Out Of Time".
In the last few years, 80's city music city pops in Japan. It's becoming very popular and noteworthy worldwide, though.

However, the album "Floating Space" by Aran Tomoko was also an album that was known only to those in the know, and it is very strange that this song, which was not even cut as a single, has attracted so much attention.

When I was a teenager, I was quite a disco lover.
In those days of disco, there was a song called "Cheek Time. I think those of you who know about it know that.
The ballads that were played at that time...I don't know how to say it...the type of ballads that used a lot of falsetto, like the ballads of The Delfonics, The Chi-Lites, The Stylistics, and so on, were the type of ballads that I liked. I liked it very much.
This song, "Midnight Pretenders," is a melody that contains the essence of that kind of music.

It is known by people who don't know about it through YouTube and social networking sites across borders. And when they are sampled, they are recognized... I really feel that this is the "modern era".
As a composer and someone who was involved in this project, I am very happy that my work has transcended time and is being recognized by the public.

Definitely

Even though Out of Time is my favorite song on the album, I think Is There Someone Else is always gonna be the staple song I associate Dawn FM with.

the cover is really good I'm really glad I stumbled upon this

Haven’t peeped yet but I’m definitely going to

I think it might be How Do I Make You Love Me for me tbh

That song going into TMB was crazy especially during that Dawn FM experience thing

what's that facts?

the radio version of out of time is literally perfect

Link?? I’m surprised they cut it down it’s already short

I imagine it just fades out

hate when I can't find something

lmao y’all really didn’t know that was a louis xiii bottle?

those 3 deserved to be the three big singles for the album

Sent! 2:59 instead of 3:34 from the album version
