I hate that the Vocals on Shameless sound so muffled. The production is so clear but the vocals aren't, so I guess it was intended.

Mariah Carey covers story on Complex mag:

"Their battles -between her and her label- weren't just about release dates, but about creative control over their music, Carey says. "If Michael Jackson were alive he could sing, [The Weeknd's] 'Can't Feel My Face.' He could sing any of those songs. And sometimes it reminds me, 'Oh, I wish that Michael would've had a song like this'—I loved when he did [the 2001 song] 'Butterflies' and songs like that. They would always hate on that at Sony because they wanted him to do these big pop records." By and large, labels aren't interested in pop superstars proclaiming their independence. The Weeknd famously rejected songs Swedish superproducer Max Martin wrote for him. Martin eventually opened up to collaborating on the writing, which birthed the Weeknd's No. 1 pop breakthrough "Can't Feel My Face.""

What? When? Which songs Weeknd rejected?

UPD I found it nytimes.com/2015/08.

QuoteMartin's team presented Tesfaye with a selection of prewritten material, and he rejected it all.

Complex author garbled instrumental "Material" and whole "Song".

I think what Mariah Carey means is that The Weeknd rejected the original versions of songs Max wrote and then The Weeknd re-wrote parts to suit him better and the collaborated with Max. It was for Can't Feel My Face and I think also Love Me Harder.

I think Mariah just talked without knowing just because Can't Feel My Face is heavily Michael Jackson inspired.

"False Alarm", a new song from Starboy is available as pre-order.

Written by Abel Tesfaye, Martin McKinney, Ahmad Balshe, Benjamin Diehl, Henry Russell Walter & Emmanuel Nickerson.

Might as well write about Starboy in this section since Max apparently got some songs on Starboy  8)

I really enjoyed Starboy the song and kinda thought he wouldn't work with Max this time around to move somewhere new so to speak. But Max got 4 songs on this.

Omg! Great surprise.

And nice to see Max & Cirkut on a song together again.

I somehow feel like The Weenkd only used pop songs to get established but in the end, he will continue the alternative route.

He's smart.

Secrets, Love To Lay, I Feel It Coming is dope. Especially the last one gives me a great feeling. (And is the one I've heard most)

Isn't there something very ABBA'ish about those chords in the section right after the chorus in Secrets  :o There is a song it reminds me of and I think it is by Abba.

SO Many songs on the album I have to listen more before I rate any songs. What do u guys think ?
