My Dear Melancholy-Spotify Release

From the moment I heard the lyrics “I can’t feel my face when I’m with you” by Weeknd I was hooked. Their new EP released Friday continues in their tradition of dragging you into this strange melancholy of pop r&b hooks. At once emotionally removed like The Pet Shop Boys you fall into their mesmerizing trap of elegant phrasing and complex arrangements. The first track “Call Out My Name” accomplishes all of the above.
