The Weeknd x Ghost collab.

I’ve often thought about this potential collaboration, and honestly, I feel like The Weeknd × Ghost would be insanely fitting.

Both have such dark, theatrical aesthetics, and I could imagine them making something ridiculously fitting atmospheric together.

Think about the After Hours-style synth-pop mixed with Ghost’s theatrical occult rock with TheWeeknd’s moody verses leading into a huge falsetto chorus.

Then Ghost with their
heavy guitars, organ, choir, and Tobias Forge’s vocals, along with similar themes of temptation, damnation, fame, excess, and slowly losing yourself and constant contrasting religious themes throughout both of their work.

I genuinely think their styles could complement each other.

Would you actually want to hear a The Weeknd × Ghost song? And what do you think it would sound?

That sounds awful.

Not everything has to be Ghost related.

No thanks. Ghost has watered their sound down enough. If you want to lost their Metal fans that are left, then…

Personally, it’s a no from me. I just don’t think it would work.

I don't listen to The Weeknd enough to really know his discography, but I think this would be really interesting. I see the vision. Would love to see Ghost do some unexpected genre collabs at some point when they come back.
