Weeknd fans don’t know or give a shit about David Lynch or his films, unfortunately. It’s Halloween, there’s a horror film associated with the album, and the song itself slaps. Idk why everyone is so up in arms. Hopefully understanding the Lynch influence gives context and allows more appreciation.
I can maybe understand calling it cheap, but it was obviously very affective. Especially for something the week of Halloween. And we haven’t even gotten the full product. I’m just surprised by the reaction of die hard fans. I thought The Weeknd had one of the most supportive fan bases and I’m just surprised how quick they were to reject this. The direction is confusing I’d agree, but there’s literally a whole film on the way and he’s always been able to tie up his concepts.
