The Weeknd has been steadily releasing tracks and info from his upcoming debut album Kiss Land. We've already seen the cover art and heard the Portishead-jacking "Belong To The World" and the Drake-assisted "Live For." Now, we have a little bit better idea of what to expect from Abel Tesfaye, as he has released the tracklist for the new album.
The Weeknd - Kiss Land tracklist (via)
1. Professional
2. The Town
3. Adaptation
4. Love In The Sky
5. Belong To The World
6. Live For (featuring Drake)
7. Wanderlust
8. Kiss Land
9. Pretty
10. Tears In The Rain
11. Wanderlust [Pharrell Remix]
12. Odd Look Remix [Kavinsky featuring The Weeknd]
A few guesses: "Pretty" will not be as loving as the title suggests. "The Town" will be a Drake-ish ode to Toronto. "Professional" is probably a sex jam. "Wanderlust" will probably be sad n' slow and could focus on actual wanderlust or troubles with monogamy.
I'm also surprised that Portishead isn't raising more of a stink and potentially attempting to bar the album from release. Maybe they're just a bunch of cool dudes but I would not be happy with such blatant thievery, particularly when Tesfaye stands to make a boatload of money off Kiss Land.
Kiss Land, the Weeknd's debut album, drops September 10.
