weeknd recognition

The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye)  is one of my favorite artists of all time because his music is really great to listen to in the nighttime, which is my favorite part of life in general. It’s also really lively and his vocals are excellent. He is from my country, and although he doesn’t speak much of the language, we really support him and his career as an artist. I suggest anyone that if would like to listen to him, please do!

An Intro to This Album

When you order an album, some of the time there’s an introduction to what’s behind it, so why not make one on my blog? My posts won’t be all the time about music but it will mention it pretty often. My life consists much of music. I grew up listening to 2000s music on the radio and in 2010 I started learning how to play the piano. I love the sound of the piano, but overtime I faded interest in it so I moved to guitar in 2013, however it also wasn’t my interest either. In 2014 I began playing the violin and I still play it to this day. I’m also willing to give another try to play piano in the future. I try to improve weekly because I haven’t mastered an instrument yet, but that is one of my future goals!

Regarding me playing music, there’s mostly a song playing in my head in every moment, even when my earbuds aren’t around. And if I don’t remember the lyrics to the song sometimes I have the beat stuck in my head.I play to music that matches my mood at the time.  I appreciate most music and I won’t mind which genre is which as long as I like the song. But I don’t like songs that are overplayed or if the lyrics suck. Some of my favorites genres are indie, lofi, piano, and hip hop. My favorite artists are  Childish Gambino, The Weeknd, Linkin Park, Lil Skies, X, Nas, Tyler, The Creator, and Alina Baraz. Not sure if you know all of them or not, but I don’t care about opinions. I also like 20th century music like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Billy Joel, Rolling Stones, and Kool and the Gang. But  I am not a huge fan of country, or pop music you hear on the radio usually.

People make their music based off of life experiences or based on their mood, there’s a lot of reasons. A lot happens in my life too that I can relate to. Anyways I know plenty of people that also like the music I listen to either with lyrics or rhythm. I have lots of friends that follow my Spotify and are familiar with what’s played nowadays, so I’m certain some, or majority of people can relate to what I listen to!
