The Genius Of: The Weeknd

EVERY RAPPERS FAVORITE SINGER, The Weeknd, changes how R&B is approached, vocally, lyrically, and visually. The dark and grimy tone of his early R&B Music to his recent ElectroPop hits, created memorable experiences from 2012’s Trilogy to 2020’s After Hours.

In a descriptive video essay I review The Weeknd’s discography in areas I find important, such as: marketing strategies, double song meanings, personality and much more. In this biography I compose my opinions from facts along with elements of humor and satisfaction, justifying the reasons I find him a genius.
