The vocal filter? Behind a veil

i dont know what makes it happen im not into technology but you dont break through into the joy frequencies, theyve been filtered out

 

[shiels]

Yes muted euphoria, the burial influence

 

[sufi]

Are you on take my breath? The choking song. Donna summer meets justice

you make it sound better than it really is,
that ticky ticky beat is cheapo 2010s style

It's interesting, The Weeknd feels like he is top of the world right now, at peak powers, entering his own Michael Jackson-level era. But if you look at the playcount on Spotify, we're talking like 20-60mil plays, which is like Caroline Polachek territory.

OTOH, his top couple tracks have 1.5 bil plays so there's just a huge tail-off in terms of singles listening vs album listening, that's a scale of 100:1

 

[shiels]

Well embellishment is the name of the game

Don FM was Simon Reynolds favourite pirate station. no one else has ever heard of it.

 

[shiels]

This mid part is the weakest. It picks up again at is there someone else?
